12801T18 Road map DTM
Paper, 1938.
A Standard Oil Co. of New York map of Maine. Its great significance lies in illustrating the presence of a dirt road (Plains
Rd.) as still being in use as a third class road at this late date. The Plains Rd. is one of Maine's most historic (now unused
and impassable) ancient Indian pathways (the Cushnoc Trail). It was the first colonial road from Ducktrap (the north branch
ran from Belfast) to Searsmont, thence through W. Appleton to S. Liberty. Today the stone boundaries of this colonial era
highway can still be seen just west of its intersection with the Collinsville Rd., and still can be accessed from Burketville.
How quickly our historic past is forgotten, with only old road maps and ancient stone walls to remind us of our passing
