About this map

The Aroostook River winds through this northern Maine landscape, anchoring a network of small settlements and agricultural sidings between Caribou and Presque Isle. The importance of the railroad in this potato-farming region is evidenced by infrastructure like Dow Siding RD and Main Siding RD, connecting remote hamlets to the larger trade network. Smaller communities such as Grimes Mill, East Lyndon, and Houghtonville are documented alongside numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Old Catholic Cem and Grimes Kelly Cem. The terrain is punctuated by named rises like Old Higgins Hill and Prestile Hill, while several brooks, such as Little Madawaska River and Nichols Brook, feed the central river valley. This survey provides a clear view of the rural road network, from Van Buren RD to Green Ridge RD, that has long defined the social and economic geography of Aroostook County.
