1951 Map of Millinocket

About this map

Millinocket and East Millinocket anchor this mid-century industrial landscape, where the East Branch Penobscot River meets a complex network of controlled waters. The geography is defined by the needs of the paper industry, evidenced by the Quakish Dam and the Partridge Brook Flowage. Transport and logistics are central to the area's layout, with the Bangor and Aroostook railroad tracing the river's path and the Millinocket Airport serving the town's northwestern edge. Beyond the mills, rural life is marked by the Bethel Church and small family burial grounds like Lynch Cem and Fiske Cem near Medway. The map also captures several township grants and purchases, including Hopkins Academy Grant and Indian Purchase T3, reflecting the region's historical land divisions and resource management.
