1953 Map of Portage

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Bangor and Aroostook railroad cuts through the eastern timberlands of Aroostook County, serving a landscape defined by industrial logging and seasonal camps in the mid-20th century. The settlement of Portage anchors the southwest corner along the shores of Portage Lake, while the northern reaches are dotted with remote outposts like Guerette Camp and Sands Camp. The map reveals the infrastructure of the wilderness economy, from the Old Shingle Mill on Little Goddard Brook to the Old Chain Bridge spanning the water.
