1932 Map of Fort Kent

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Fort Kent stands as a vital northern outpost where the Fish River meets the St John River, marking the international boundary between Maine and New Brunswick. This early 1930s survey reveals a landscape shaped by water and wood, with the Bangor and Aroostook railroad line providing the essential connection to the rest of the state. The mapping illustrates a distributed rural community dependent on local institutions, including the Roosevelt Sch, Charette Sch, and Blaine Sch. Topography by W. S. Higginson indicates the complex drainage patterns of northern Aroostook County, defined by tributaries like Audibert Brook and Daigle Bk. The placement of these schools and rail spurs suggests a period when small-scale timber and agriculture anchored the economy of this border region, just as aerial photography began to modernize the process of surveying the American frontier.
