1943 Map of Danforth

About this map

Danforth and Brookton serve as the primary hubs in this lake-rich region of Maine just before the mid-century, where the Maine Central and Canadian Pacific railroads converge to move timber and goods. The landscape is defined by the extensive waters of the Chiputneticook Lakes along the international border, and the winding Baskhegan Stream. Cultural landmarks are scattered throughout the hills, including the Irish Settlement tucked behind Snow Mountain, and a network of rural schoolhouses such as Butterfield Sch and Shaw Sch.
