1931 Map of Portage

About this map

Portage and the surrounding unorganized townships of north-central Aroostook County reflect a landscape defined by the timber industry and wilderness transit during the late 1920s. The Bangor and Aroostook railroad cuts through the western terrain, serving the settlement of Buffalo and the logging outposts that dotted the interior. This survey captures a specific industrial transition, marking the site of the Old Shingle Mill and the Old Chain Bridge, relics of early forest extraction methods.
