1975 Map of Howe Brook SW

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

St Croix Stream snakes through this heavily forested section of Aroostook County, serving as the central drainage for a landscape defined by industrial timberlands and secluded watercourses. In the mid-1970s, the small settlements of Weeksboro and Howe Brook remained the primary human imprints on this remote Maine territory. The orthophotographic perspective reveals the dense network of logging roads and clearings that support the region's forest products economy, contrasting with the dark, untouched slopes of Howe Brook Mountain. Genealogists and local historians can trace the proximity of these vanished or reduced rail-stop settlements to the surrounding water bodies like Beaver Brook and Weeks Brook, providing a clear spatial context for 20th-century life in the deep northern woods before modern forest management changed the canopy's footprint.
