About this map

The Aroostook River winds through the heart of this northern Maine landscape, anchoring the bustling commercial hub of Caribou. During the mid-1980s, the city served as a vital regional center, evidenced by the presence of the Court House, Town Hall, and the Caribou Municipal Airport. The area's transport-driven economy is reflected in the dual presence of the Bangor and Aroostook and Canadian Pacific railroads, which facilitated the movement of goods and people through the fertile St. John Valley.

Further south, the small settlement of Crouseville sits along the river's edge, characterized by the Crouseville Cem. Beyond the urban core, the terrain is marked by numerous water bodies including Caribou Lake, Pratt Lake, and Churchill Lake. The surrounding towns of Woodland, Washburn, and Presque Isle overlap with this quadrangle, showcasing a landscape defined by agricultural stretches and family-named roads like Bailey Road and Coffin Road.
