About this map

Stockholm stands as a focal point in this northern Aroostook County landscape, situated where the Bangor and Aroostook railroad network connects the timberlands with local industry. The map illustrates a region defined by its Swedish heritage and woods-based economy, with the village of Jemtland and Jemtland Sta serving the agricultural and logging interests of the era. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Stockholm Mtn, which features a Fire Tower, and Cold Mtn to the north.

Water plays a critical role in the geography, from the broad reaches of Long Lake and Madawaska Lake to the smaller Mud Lake. Scattered through the woods are indicators of seasonal and industrial life, including Dagle Mill, Francks Camp, and rail stops like Collins Siding. The northern edge of the sheet captures a brief segment of the St John River at the international boundary, emphasizing the remote, border-country character of these Maine townships.
