About this map

Prestile Stream winds through this central Aroostook County landscape, serving as a focal point for local water management and early settlement patterns near the town of Easton. The presence of the Easton Intake Dam, along with Lake Christina Dam and Lake Josephine Dam, illustrates the managed hydrography necessary for the region's agricultural and municipal needs. The map records several small rail-related junctions and settlements, including Washburn Junction, Easton Station, and Phair, which once facilitated the movement of goods through this northern borderland.

Agricultural land is bisected by a grid of rural roads like Conant Rd and Centerline Rd, connecting family landmarks and quiet sites such as Glenwood Park Cemetery. Rising above the surrounding fields, Melville Hill provides a distinct topographic marker in an otherwise gently undulating terrain defined by the Aroostook River in the northwest and various tributaries like Driscoll Brook and Elliot Brook.
