1929 Map of Calais

About this map

The St Croix River forms a jagged international boundary through this 1929 survey, connecting the industrial nodes of Calais and Milltown with the mills of Woodland. The landscape is defined by the heavy rail infrastructure of the Maine Central railroad, which links riverside settlements through junctions like Woodland Junc and St Croix Junc. To the south, the massive expanse of Meddybemps Lake and the Meddybemps Heath dominate the terrain, surrounded by a network of rural schools including the North Union Sch and Damon Sch. The map reveals a region built on the intersection of timber, water power, and cross-border transport, where smaller settlements like Baring and Alexander occupy the spaces between the highland peaks of Staples Mtn and Pineo Mtn.
