1954 Map of Howe Brook

About this map

Howe Brook and the small settlement of Weeksboro serve as southern anchors for this mid-century survey of the Maine woods. The Bangor and Ar00stook railroad cuts through the southwestern corner, connecting the remote timberlands to larger markets. This landscape is defined by its seasonal camps and hunting culture, evidenced by Mineola Hunting Club, Old Klondike Camp, and Sweets Camp. Numerous lakes and deadwaters, such as St Croix Lake and Presque Isle Lake, are connected by an intricate network of tote roads and streams. High points like Number Nine Mtn, which features a Fire Tower, and Hedgehog Mtn provide overlooks across the heavy forest cover of the various township ranges.
