1955 Map of Rocky Mountain

About this map

The St John River carves through the southeast corner of this northern Maine landscape, serving as the dominant drainage for a network of remote timberlands and sporting grounds. In the mid-1950s, this area remained largely defined by logging operations and isolated agricultural outposts like Ouellette Farm and Castonia Farm located along the riverbanks. The St John River transitions through Schoolhouse Rapids and Longs Rapids, hinting at the difficult navigation once faced by river drivers and trappers.
