About this map

Soldier Pond and the surrounding timber and agricultural lands of Aroostook County define this northern Maine landscape. The Fish River carves a central path through the map, historically serving as a vital corridor for the region's logging industry, evidenced by landmarks like Plourde Mill and the multiple sidings along the rail lines, such as Michaud Siding and Sutton Siding. Settlement patterns follow the river and its tributaries, from the concentrated hub at Fort Kent Village near the International Bridge to the dispersed rural community of Michigan Settlement in the northeast.

Institutional and infrastructure markers are prominent, including the University of Maine at Fort Kent and the Fort Kent Municipal Airport. The map documents numerous family-named landmarks like Stevens Hill, Pinette Hill, and Bradburys, which provide essential context for genealogical research. Further south, the community of Wallagrass sits near First Lake, illustrating the persistent connection between local townships and the network of brooks and streams like Wallagrass Stream and Perley Brook.
