1951 Map of Houlton

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Houlton serves as the focal point of this 1951 revision, which captures the international character of the Maine-New Brunswick borderlands. The convergence of the Bangor and Aroostook and Canadian Pacific railroads highlights the region's importance as a transportation hub for the timber and agricultural industries. Beyond the town center, the landscape is defined by the Meduxnekeag River and a network of outlying agricultural hamlets like Porter Settlement, Carys Mills, and Starkey Corners. Technological infrastructure of the mid-century is evident through the presence of a Transoceanic Telephone Receiving Station and a Radio Range Station, while local community life is anchored by numerous rural schoolhouses such as Clough Sch and Rideout Sch. The terrain transitions from the developed river valleys to the heights of Adams Mtn and Drew Hill.
