1955 Map of Smyrna Mills

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Bangor and Aroostook Railroad operations anchor the local economy of this southern Aroostook County landscape, connecting the agricultural and timber hubs of Smyrna Mills and Oakfield. The rail line threads between prominent peaks like Timoney Mountain and Sam Drew Mountain, following the natural drainage towards Mattawamkeag Lake and Upper Mattawamkeag Lake. The settlement pattern reveals a cluster of small rural schools, including Lincoln Sch, Roosevelt Sch, and Longfellow Sch, which served the dispersed farming communities along Settlement Road and Colbroth Road. This survey documents a transition period where traditional land use, marked by features like Emerson Siding and Walker Settlement, met the growing importance of the area's water resources, from the expansive Meduxnekeag Lake to the secluded Thousand Acre Swamp.
