1942 Map of Sherman

About this map

Sherman Station and Sherman Mills anchor this southern Aroostook County landscape during the early 1940s, a period defined by the timber and agricultural transport of the Bangor and Aroostook railroad. The map reveals a transition between established settlements like Patten and Island Falls and the vast, marshy wilderness of the Thousand Acre Bog. The placement of local institutions, including South Patten Sch, Doble Sch, and the Sherman Mills Cem, provides a clear view of how these remote communities were organized around key intersections like Woodbridge Corner.
