About this map

Baskakegan Stream and the sprawling waters of Chiputneticook Lakes dominate this late 1950s interior landscape along the international border. The town of Danforth serves as the primary hub, situated at the junction of the Maine Central and Canadian Pacific railroads. This intersection of rail lines highlights the area's importance as a transit corridor for timber and goods between the United States and Canada.

Smaller outposts like Brookton, Eaton, and the Irish Settlement reveal the distribution of local communities centered around schools such as Bonner Sch and Lincoln Sch. Significant ridges like Pemberton Ridge and Greenland Ridge provide high ground above the extensive flowage and marshlands. Genealogists can locate several family-linked landmarks, including Shorey and Butterfield Landing, alongside community gathering points like the Grand Lake Grange.
