1955 Map of Rocky Brook

About this map

Black River flows through this remote section of northern Aroostook County, marking a landscape defined by its proximity to the international border. In the mid-1950s, this region remained dominated by forest and timber interests, evidenced by the network of Jeep Trails and the absence of established towns. The survey captures the transition between Quebec and Maine, tracing the jagged line where the Canada and United States border meets the North Woods. Smaller water bodies like Rideout Pond and Morrison Bk feed into the larger river systems that historically supported the logging industry. The map provides a look at the township divisions of the era, including T 19 R 12 and T 18 R 13, highlighting how land was partitioned for resource management in the deep interior of the state.
