1955 Map of Smyrna Mills

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Bangor and Aroostook rail lines anchor the local economy in this mid-century survey of southern Aroostook County, connecting timber and agricultural hubs like Smyrna Mills and Oakfield. The landscape is a network of ridges and water bodies, including Emerson Ridge and the expansive Meduxnekeag Lake. Settlement patterns follow the rail corridor and the Aroostook River, with smaller outposts like Walker Settlement and Emerson Siding serving the surrounding woods. Education was highly localized at the time, evidenced by several rural schoolhouses such as Roosevelt Sch and Huntley Mill Pd Sch. The map also reveals the importance of local water resources, with numerous ponds like Spaulding Lake and Cochrane Lake dotting the terrain between the primary rail stops and the higher elevations of Timoney Mountain and Sam Drew Mountain.
