1993 Map of Fort Fairfield

About this map

The Aroostook River winds through this international borderland, anchoring the major settlements of Caribou and Fort Fairfield. In the north, the massive footprint of Loring Air Force Base dominates the landscape near Limestone, while the Loran Coast Guard Sta and U S Customs stations reflect the strategic cross-border nature of this Maine-New Brunswick corridor. The rural character of the county is defined by its agricultural crossroads, including numerous family-named landmarks like Cote Corner and Morris Corner. Transport and industry are evident in the path of the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad, which connected timber and agricultural hubs such as Phair and Easton Station. In the south, the prominent rise of Mars Hill stands above the smaller townships of Blaine and Westfield, marking the transition into the dense woodland and waterway networks of Victoria Co across the Canadian line.
