2018 Map of Ludlow

About this map

Smyrna Center and the village of Ludlow anchor this section of Aroostook County, characterized by a series of parallel ridges and extensive wetlands typical of northeastern Maine. The landscape is defined by elevated landforms like Bull Ridge, Number Seven Ridge, and Gardiner Ridge, which separate numerous glacial water bodies and drainage systems. Waterways such as Captain Ambrose Bear Stream and the expansive Thousand Acre Swamp dominate the northern terrain, while Cochrane Lake sits near the southern boundary. Local family history is preserved through several small burial grounds, including Stewart Cem, Yerxa Cem, and the Amish Cem, the latter indicating a distinct cultural presence in the rural township. Road networks like Smyrna Townline Rd and Mansur Brook Rd follow the natural contours of the ridges, connecting remote homesteads and woodlots across this heavily forested region.
