The Bangor and Aroostook railroad defines the industrial geography of this 1930s Aroostook County landscape, connecting timber and agricultural hubs like Smyrna Mills and Oakfield. The region is a network of ridges and water bodies, with local life centered around rural institutions such as the Roach Sch and Hall Sch. The surveyor R.E.
