About this map

Stockholm and its surrounding townships in northern Aroostook County are depicted during a period of active timber and rail transit, defined by the winding course of the St Johns River along the international boundary. The landscape is a complex network of brooks and ponds, including Long Lake and Madawaska Lake, which supported the region's early development. Industrial and transport activity is evident through features like Caniba Mill and the several rail sidings such as Martins Siding and Collins Siding along the Bangor and Aroostook line.

Community life in the 1920s is reflected in the distribution of rural schoolhouses, from Sinclair Sch in the west to East Jemtland Sch and Berquist Sch further south. Unique local landmarks like Notre Dame near the river and the Halfway House in the township of Connor provide specific touchpoints for genealogists and local historians tracking the social geography of this Franco-American and Scandinavian settlement area.
