1929 Map of Caribou

About this map

Washburn and Caribou serve as the primary hubs in this agricultural and industrial landscape of Aroostook County, where the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad dictates the flow of commerce and settlement. The map reveals an intricate network of rural education and faith, with dozens of family-named schoolhouses like Belanger School and Dunn School serving isolated townships. The presence of specialized sites, such as the New Sweden Station and Post Office and the Municipal Airport near Caribou, marks a period of transition as the region balanced its traditional timber and potato-farming roots with emerging twentieth-century infrastructure.
