About this map

The Bangor and Aroostook railroad defines the industrial landscape of the northern Maine woods in the late 1920s, threading through Winterville and Winterville Sta. This area of Aroostook County is dominated by the narrow, elongated St Froid Lake and the winding course of the Fish River. The map captures a moment when the regional economy relied heavily on these waterways and rails, evidenced by remote outposts like Falls Camp and Fourmile Camp.

Away from the central settlements of Quimby and McNally, the terrain transitions into a dense network of timber-related infrastructure. Significant peaks such as Pennington Mtn and Hedgehog Mtn overlook a labyrinth of brooks and ponds, including Nadeau Pond and Pennington Pond. Genealogists may find value in the location of the T 15 R 6 Sch and landmarks like Nixon and Highlanding, which reflect the early twentieth-century footprint of this lumber-producing region.
