About this map

The timberlands and rugged townships of the Penobscot and Aroostook County line are captured here during a period of transition for northern Maine's wilderness economy. The Bangor and Aroostook RR passes through the settlement at Island Falls, which serves as a vital link between the southern agricultural plains and the vast northern woods. Further inland, the presence of numerous neighborhood schoolhouses, such as Davis Sch, Myrick Sch, and Hackett Sch, illustrates the early 20th-century density of rural family settlements that supported the region's logging and farming.
