About this map

The settlement of Portage serves as a hub in this northern Maine landscape, where the rail lines and timber resources of the late 1920s are clearly visible. Near the shore of Portage Lake, the map records the industrial infrastructure of the era, including Buffalo Siding and Nixon Siding which supported the transport of timber and supplies. The presence of an Old Shingle Mill and numerous family-named logging camps like Haynes Camp and Marrithew Camp reflects a landscape defined by the woods industry.
