1975 Map of Limestone

About this map

Limestone and its surrounding potato-farming landscape define this 1975 orthophotoquad, which uses rectified aerial imagery to show the intense agricultural patchwork of northern Aroostook County. The map captures a unique cross-border perspective, clearly marking the United States Canada boundary and the transition into Maine New Brunswick. This aerial view reveals the dense network of rural roads connecting small residential clusters and agricultural outposts like Gillespie Settlement and Upper California. The course of Limestone Stream winds through the village center, providing a natural anchor for the local geography. Local family names and small intersections are preserved in labels for Mc Cluskey, Morris Corner, and Four Corners, offering researchers a precise look at property layout and land use before late-century development changed the rural footprint.
