1932 Map of Fort Kent

About this map

The St. John River forms the primary international boundary in this 1930s survey, marking the division between Maine and New Brunswick. This advance sheet, compiled in part from aerial photographs taken by the Air Corps, centers on Fort Kent, where the Bangor and Aroostook Main Line terminates along the riverfront. The settlement of Daigle lies to the south, connected by a network of local routes like Charette Road and the Roosevelt Highway. The map illustrates a border economy defined by the intersection of rail infrastructure and water transport. A series of numbered locations, likely representing individual dwellings or surveyed points such as c72, line the northern bank of the river, providing a precise record of the inhabited landscape during the early 1930s.
