1941 Map of Danforth

About this map

Danforth sits at the nexus of water and rail in this 1930s-era survey of eastern Maine, where the Canadian Pacific and Maine Central railroads converge near the Baskahegan Stream. The landscape is defined by its logging and sporting heritage, evidenced by numerous named camps such as Gillis Camp, Moody Camp, and Russell Camp scattered across the ridges. Small rural communities and schoolhouses like the Bonner Sch and Shaw Sch served the families of the Irish Settlement and Cranetown.
