1951 Map of Fort Fairfield

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Aroostook River winds through the heart of this Maine landscape, serving as a corridor for both the Canadian Pacific and Bangor and Aroostook railroads during the mid-century. This survey, revised in 1951 from earlier aerial photography, documents the agricultural and civic density of the border region where Limestone and Fort Fairfield meet the Canadian frontier. Local commerce and transit are centered around points like Grimes Mill and the village of Caribou, while the rural uplands are dotted with family-named junctions such as Brown Corner, Cote Corner, and Somers Corner. The map reveals a highly developed network of rural education and social infrastructure, evidenced by numerous named schools including the Willard School and Wright Sch. Notable land use features include the State Fish Hatchery and the vast Sawyer Bog, illustrating the mix of managed resources and natural wetlands characteristic of the county.
