About this map

The Little Madawaska River winds through this section of northern Aroostook County, defining a landscape shaped by glacial water bodies and aviation history. Just east of the city limits of Caribou, the massive infrastructure of Loring International Airport dominates the northeast, surrounded by a complex network of residential and service roads such as Arkansas Rd, Georgia Rd, and Wyoming Cir. These street names reflect the site's history as a major military installation.

Smaller settlements like Madawaska and Brown Corner sit at the intersection of local routes, including Bog Rd and Noyes Rd. The terrain is punctuated by significant hydrography, from the expansive Butterfield Lake in the north to the wetlands surrounding Ketch Pond and Malabeam Lake. This area preserves the transition from the industrial and transportation hub near the airport to the rural agricultural lands and waterways like Greenlaw Brook and Brandy Brook.
