About this map

St Froid Lake and the Fish River dominate this 1928 survey of northern Aroostook County, revealing a landscape defined by timber operations and the Bangor and Aroostook railroad. The settlement of Winterville and the nearby Winterville Sta at Quimby serve as the primary hubs in an otherwise deep wilderness of township-and-range divisions. Remote outposts like Falls Camp and Fourmile Camp are connected by a network of tote roads, reflecting the logging era's reliance on winter transport.

The presence of the T 15 R 6 Sch and isolated points like Nixon and McNally provide evidence of early 20th-century habitation along the rail line. Water bodies including Fish River Lake and Portage Lake are surrounded by distinct topographic landmarks such as Hedgehog Mtn and The Pinnacle. These features, combined with named river points like Shew Falls and High Landing, offer a detailed view of the region's geography before modern infrastructure reshaped the Maine woods.
