1951 Map of Fort Fairfield

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Aroostook River defines the landscape of northeastern Maine as it winds toward the international boundary with New Brunswick. This early 1950s record of the borderlands shows a region deeply connected by rail and river, where the Bangor and Aroostook and Canadian Pacific railroads intersect at the hub of Fort Fairfield. The map reveals the agricultural and community structure of the time, marked by numerous rural schoolhouses like Kelly Sch and Wright Sch, and local crossroads such as Cote Corner and Somers Corner. Industrial and conservation efforts are evident in landmarks like Grimes Mill and the State Fish Hatchery. The intricate network of small brooks—including Goodrich Brook and Brandy Brook—illustrates the drainage patterns that supported the famous potato farming of this border district.
