About this map

The Aroostook River curves sharply through the international borderlands, anchoring the regional hub of Fort Fairfield. This 1980s landscape reveals a complex network of transportation and rural community life, where the Bangor and Aroostook and Canadian Pacific railroads converge near the riverbank. The town center is densely detailed, featuring the Municipal Airport, the Armory, and local education landmarks like the High Sch and Middle Sch. Surrounding the town, family-named landmarks and small settlements such as Houghtonville and Tinker populate the countryside.

Religious and local history is well-preserved through labels for St Denis Ch and St Paul Ch, along with several burial grounds including Riverside Cem and the Harvey Hill Cem. The terrain is defined by prominent rises like Irish Ridge and Giggey Hill, while the boundary between Maine and New Brunswick cuts vertically through the eastern half of the sheet, highlighting the cross-border geography of the Lower California area.
