About this map

The Aroostook River defines the landscape of this northern Maine corridor, winding through the valley between the growing centers of Caribou and Presque Isle. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted agricultural and industrial history, evidenced by small hamlets like Grimes Mill and Goodwin that follow the river's path. Local genealogy is particularly well-represented on this sheet, which preserves the locations of numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Cochran Cem and Grimes Kelly Cem.

Transportation networks such as Fort Fairfield Rd and the Main Siding Rd trace the path of commerce and movement across the valley. From the heights of Old Higgins Hill to the confluence where the Little Madawaska River joins the main flow, the map provides a contemporary look at the enduring rural layout of Aroostook County, where scattered settlements like East Lyndon and Houghtonville persist alongside the region's prominent brooks and ridgelines.
