About this map

St Froud Lake and the Fish River system anchor this northern Aroostook County landscape during the late 1920s. The settlement of Winterville and the Quimby Winterville Sta along the Bangor and Aroostook railroad represent the primary hubs of activity in an otherwise heavily forested region. Evidence of the timber and sporting economy is found in remote outposts like Falls Camp, Fourmile Camp, and Red Ledge.

Logistical networks are defined by a singular Tote Road and the winding river courses that connect several prominent water bodies, including Fish River Lake and the northern tip of Portage Lake. Local infrastructure is sparse but notable, featuring the T15 R6 Sch and several named cataracts such as Red River Falls and Skew Falls. This survey, compiled in part from early Army Air Corps aerial photography, provides a clear view of the township and range divisions that structured Maine's northern wilderness.
