1936 Map of Mars Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

The Bangor and Aroostook RR serves as a primary artery through this productive potato-growing region, connecting small agriculture-centered hubs like Easton, Westfield, and Blaine. The 1930s landscape is densely peppered with dozens of community schoolhouses, from Parkhurst Sch in the north to Silsby Sch near the Canadian border, indicating a highly localized rural population. The topography is dominated by the massive profile of Mars Hill, which rises significantly above the surrounding plains. To the east, the border with Canada is marked with numerous survey monuments. Notable landmarks of early community life include the Friends Ch and Morison Mill near Page Pond, alongside several family-named landmarks like McManus Sch and Gardner Sch. Numerous small lakes and ponds, such as Dilling Lake and Winston Lake, provide drainage for the many brooks feeding into Prestile Stream.
