1951 Map of Fort Fairfield

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Aroostook River valley defines this borderlands landscape, where the agricultural and transit networks of northern Maine meet New Brunswick. In the early 1950s, the region was heavily served by the Bangor and Aroostook and Canadian Pacific railroads, which facilitated the movement of goods through hubs like Fort Fairfield and Limestone. The map reveals a dense pattern of rural schoolhouses and corners, such as Kelly Sch, Palmer Sch, Cote Corner, and Somers Corner, reflecting the established community structure of the time. Along the Little Madawaska River, the presence of the State Fish Hatchery and Grimes Mill highlights the local reliance on the area's complex water systems, which include Sawyer Bog and numerous brooks like Brandy Brook and Nichols Brook. The international boundary is clearly marked, showing the proximity of settlements like Brissettes to the Canadian line.
