1933 Map of St Francis

About this map

The St John River carves a deep border through the northern woods of Aroostook County, defining the international boundary between Maine and Canada. This 1930s survey documents a landscape where timber and transport dominate, anchored by the Bangor and Aroostook railroad line running parallel to the water through St John and Bradbury. Small centers of rural life like St Francis and the Back Settlement are shown with their proximity to local resources, including Jones Mill and several isolated schoolhouses such as McKinley Sch and Lincoln Sch.
