2024 Map of Limestone

About this map

Limestone serves as the central hub of this northern Maine landscape, where the agricultural traditions of Aroostook County meet the international border with the United States of America Canada. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways including Limestone Stream, Durepo Pond, and Silver Spring Brook, which historically supported the region's potato-farming economy. To the northwest, the Aroostook National Wildlife Refuge preserves a significant portion of the former Loring Air Force Base lands, including recreational paths like the Beaver Pond Trail and Don Lima Trail. Family history is deeply rooted in the landscape, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds such as the Howland Family Cem and Kenneson Cem near Kennison Hill. The map traces a series of rural crossroads like Grass Corner, Cote Corner, and Four Corners, illustrating the enduring settlement patterns of this borderland community.
