1955 Map of Rocky Brook

About this map

The Canada United States border defines the character of this mid-century survey, slicing diagonally through the northern Maine woods. This is a landscape of complex hydrology where the Little Black River and its numerous tributaries, including Beaver Branch and the West Branch, drain toward the southeast. The area is distinctly remote, marked by a network of Private roads and Jeep Trails rather than established towns, reflecting the region's historical reliance on seasonal logging and specialized transit. The boundary between Quebec Maine and Kamouraska Co Aroostook Co is meticulously documented with numbered markers, providing a precise record of the international line in the 1950s. Interior features like Rideout Pond and Rocky Brook offer specific points of reference for researchers tracing the primitive transport routes and drainage patterns of the upper St. John River watershed.
