About this map

St Froud Lake and the Fish River corridor dominate this Aroostook County landscape as it appeared in the late 1920s. This survey records a wilderness economy defined by the Bangor and Ardostook railroad, which provided the primary link for settlements like Quimby, Winterville, and the remote McNally stop. The terrain is marked by a transition from organized townships to wilder, unorganized territories like T 15 R 8 and T 14 R 7.

Evidence of the timber industry and seasonal residence is found in labels for Falls Camp and Fourmile Camp, while localized infrastructure appears at the T 15 R 6 Sch near Winterville Sta. The map provides a detailed record of water drainage systems, from the complex bends of Big Pine Bend to small remote waters like Moccasin Pond and Lucifer Pond. Notable peaks such as Pennington Mtn and Hedgehog Mtn stand above the intricate network of brooks and ridges.
