1951 Map of Greenville

About this map

Moosehead Lake dominates the northern reaches of this mid-century survey, anchoring a landscape where industrial transit and wilderness recreation meet. The rail corridor is particularly dense here, featuring the junction of the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad and the Canadian Pacific Railroad near Greenville Junc. This intersection highlights the importance of the region as a gateway for timber and tourism during the early 1950s. To the south, the terrain descends into the headwaters of the Piscataquis River, where small settlements like Shirley Mills and Blanchard sit along the winding riverbanks.
