1935 Map of Howe Brook

About this map

The Bangor and Aroostook railroad cuts through the southwestern corner of this 1930s survey, anchoring small trackside settlements like Weeksboro and Little Canada. This region of Aroostook County is characterized by a dense network of logging and sporting camps, including Mineola Hunting Club, Old Klondike Camp, and Bridges Camp, reflecting the area's deep-woods industry and recreational history before modern road development. The landscape is defined by significant elevations such as Hedgehog Mtn and Saddleback Mtn, which overlook a complex drainage system feeding the North Branch Meduxnekeag River and Presque Isle Lake. The presence of infrastructure like Phipps Dam on Bogen Brook suggests active water management for timber or early local power in this mid-century wilderness.
