1931 Map of Square Lake

About this map

Square Lake and the interconnected Fish River chain dominate this 1931 survey of northern Aroostook County. The landscape is defined by the glacial lakes and the early development of small communities like St Agatha and Red Point City. In the northern section, a concentration of one-room schoolhouses—including the Washington Sch, Lincoln Sch, and Webster Sch—reflects the dispersed rural population of the Frenchville and Saint Agatha townships. The timber-driven economy is signaled by the Carriveau Mill and numerous camps such as Michaud Camp and Fraser Camp located along the lake shores.
