About this map

St Froid Lake and the Fish River define this North Woods landscape in northern Maine during the early 1930s. The settlement of Winterville and the Quimby Winterville Sta serve as the primary hubs for this region, connected by the Bangor and Aroostook railroad and a budding network of state highways. Away from the rail line, the interior is crisscrossed by historic routes like the Wheelock Tote Road, which supported logging operations and remote camps such as Falls Camp and Fourmile Camp.

Researchers will find a detailed look at the township and range system, with schools like T 15 R 6 Sch serving isolated logging communities. The map identifies numerous specific landmarks for genealogists and historians, from the families noted at McNally and Nixon to the distinctive topographic features of Hedgehog Mtn and The Pinnacle. Small ponds and falls, such as Red River Falls and Moccasin Pond, fill the interior between the larger waters of Fish Lake and Portage Lake.
