1931 Map of Springfield

About this map

Springfield and Carroll define the settled corridors of this Penobscot County interior during the early 1930s. The landscape is a network of small family school districts, including the Webster Sch, Tolman Sch, and Gates Sch, which served remote homesteads like the Drake Place and Budge Farm. This map reveals a transition from the structured township divisions of Prentiss to the more water-dominated terrain of the south, where the Passadumkeag River snakes through the 1000 Acre Heath. Significant water bodies such as Upper Sysladobsis Lake, Bottle Lake, and Junior Lake are detailed with their distinct coves and islands, including Boyce Cove and Dollar I. The presence of a Fire Tower on Dill Ridge highlights the era's focus on forest management across the numerous ridges like Cushman Ridge and Kirkland Ridge.
