1941 Map of Danforth

About this map

Danforth serves as the focal point of this 1941 survey, situated at the junction where the Canadian Pacific and Maine Central railroads converge. The landscape is defined by the extensive Baskahegan Stream and the sprawling waters of Baskahegan Lake and Chiputneticook Lakes along the international border with New Brunswick. Settlement patterns in the late 1930s reveal a network of rural schoolhouses like Bonner Sch and Butterfield Sch, alongside localized communities such as Irish Settlement and Cranetown. The presence of numerous named camps, including Gillis Camp and Deadman Camp, highlights the region's reliance on timber and seasonal activities. Transportation is anchored by the rail lines and unique roadway landmarks like Properly Turn and the Two Mile Curve, while the terrain is marked by prominent heights such as Stetson Mountain and Snow Mountain.
