1935 Map of Fort Kent

About this map

The St John River forms a prominent international boundary between the Canada United States border in this northern Aroostook County landscape. In the early 1930s, Fort Kent serves as the primary hub at the confluence of the Fish River, where the Bangor and Aroostook No 1 U S Highway parallels the riverbank. This map reveals a distributed rural network of education, featuring local landmarks such as Roosevelt Sch, Hillside Sch, and Blaine Sch positioned along the hills and tributary waters. The terrain is marked by significant drainages including Audibert Brook and Daigle Bk, which flow through the upland areas south of the main river valley. This survey captures the border region before major mid-century developments, preserving the original footprints of local schools and the settlement pattern of the Maine-New Brunswick frontier.
