1965 Map of Howe Brook

About this map

St Croix Lake and the Bangor and Aroostook railroad corridor anchor this mid-1960s study of the remote timberlands in Aroostook County. The landscape is defined by its industrial and recreational camps, including Bliss Camp, Mineola Hunting Camp, and Millers Camp, reflecting the region's deep ties to both logging and the sporting life. Small settlements like Weeksboro and Little Canada appear along the rail line, providing rare points of permanent habitation amidst a dense network of water bodies such as Howe Brook and the Meduxnekeag River. Notable landmarks such as the Lookout Tower on Howe Brook Mtn and the Old Forest Service Campground near The Pinnacle highlight the era's fire watch and forest management infrastructure within the various plantations and townships like Webbertown and Dudley.
