1984 Map of Redington

About this map

Orbeton Stream and its numerous tributaries, including Winship Stream and Hardy Stream, carve through this mountainous portion of Madrid and Phillips. The 1980s landscape is defined by the high peaks of Saddleback Junior, The Horn, and Potato Hill, which are traversed by the Appalachian National Scenic Trail. The map reveals the area's transition from a rail-dependent economy to a managed forest landscape, evidenced by the prominent Old RR Grade winding alongside the water towards Perham Junction. Small settlements like East Madrid and Reeds are shown during a period of relative isolation, connected by a network of unimproved roads and four-wheel-drive tracks. Genealogists may find interest in the Cem located near Perham, while the presence of Redington and the surrounding Redington Township illustrates the complex land divisions of this region.
