1940 Map of Oxbow

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Aroostook River and the Blackwater River define this North Woods landscape in the years before mid-century modernization. The settlement at Oxbow serves as the primary hub, featuring the Oxbow East End School and providing access to the river's winding course. This 1940 survey documents a transition between early frontier logging and more established rural life, noted by the presence of Willard Cem and Oxbow Cem. Remote outposts and seasonal sites like Camp Dana, McManus Camp, and Camp Violette are scattered across the township grid, connected by utilitarian routes such as the Loghauler Road and Tote Road. The interior is a dense network of water bodies, including the large Umculcus Lake and the Bangor and St Croix Stream, which supported the region's timber-driven economy.
