About this map

The St John River defines the international boundary between Maine and New Brunswick in this detailed survey of the North Woods. The landscape is characterized by a network of timber-and-water economy features, from Austins Dam and the Plourde Mill to numerous logging outposts like Carter Brook Camp and Fire Wardens Camp. Local agriculture and industry are further evidenced by several Sugar Camps scattered through the hills.

Settlement patterns follow the Bangor and Aroostook rail corridor, linking communities such as Soldier Pond, Wallagrass, and Plaisted. Small rural schoolhouses, including Lincoln Sch, Baxter Sch, and the Michigan Sch, served isolated clusters of residents in the Violette Settlement and Michaud Settlement. Along the shores of Eagle Lake, the map records family-named points like Dubay Pt and Boyles Pt, offering a precise record of the area's development before modern expansion changed the character of these lakeside hamlets.
