1951 Map of Houlton

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Meduxnekeag River snakes through this Aroostook County landscape, centering on the bustling international hub of Houlton. In the early 1950s, the area served as a vital crossroads for both the Bangor and Aroostook RR and the Canadian Pacific RR, which facilitated trade and travel across the United States Canada border. Beyond the town center, the map reveals a high density of rural schoolhouses and neighborhood markers such as Porter Settlement and Carys Mills, alongside industrial landmarks like the Transoceanic Telephone Receiving Station and a local Fish Hatchery. To the south and west, the terrain shifts from the developed grid of Hodgdon to the more varied waters of Nickerson Lake and the peak of Adams Mtn, illustrating the transition from agricultural and timber lands to the northern wilderness.
