About this map

Prestile Stream winds southward through this Aroostook County landscape, tracing a path that mirrors the international boundary between the United States and Canada. This borderland area is defined by a series of small agricultural and rural settlements, including Blaine, Bridgewater Corner, and the town of Bridgewater. The map reveals a high density of burial grounds relative to the population centers, with family and community sites like Tapley Cem, Sanborn Cem, and Smith Cem scattered along the local road network.

Industrial and social footprints are visible in labels such as Wesleyan Campground Rd and the crossing at Bells Xing. The terrain rises toward the east at Sugar Hill and Bunker Hill, while the western portion is dominated by a complex network of wetlands and minor waterways, including Three Brooks and Whitney Brook. This survey provides a modern look at a region where historic settlement patterns persist alongside the literal edge of the nation.
