1975 Map of Fort Fairfield NW

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Madawaska River and its tributary, the Little Madawaska River, define the hydraulic character of this Aroostook County landscape during the mid-1970s. This orthophoto quadrangle reveals a patchwork of intensive agricultural fields and woodlots, a hallmark of the region's potato-farming heritage. The imagery captures the structured layout of the area as it appeared when aerial photography was taken in 1975, showing the clear delineation between cultivated land and the dense forest surrounding Butterfield Lake. Small rural intersections like Brown Corner and Somers Corner serve as the primary local landmarks, marking the junctions of farm-to-market roads. Smaller watercourses such as Greenlaw Brook and Otter Brook cut through the fields, illustrating the natural drainage patterns that have long dictated the placement of homesteads and crop rows in this northern Maine borderland.
