About this map

Mars Hill dominates the landscape of eastern Aroostook County, rising sharply above the surrounding agricultural fields and the International Boundary. This 2014 survey captures the borderlands where the United States and Canada meet, with the survey line running precisely along the eastern slopes. To the south, the settlement of Blaine and the northern reaches of the Mars Hill town center are visible, connected by a network of rural roads such as Fort Rd and E Ridge Rd.

Genealogists can identify key local landmarks including Pierce Cem and Kings Grove Cem, along with the small residential cluster at Kings Grove. The area is densely patterned with water features, from the flowing Prestile Stream and River De Chute to several glacial ponds including McPherson Lake, Hersom Lake, and Delano Lake. The infrastructure of the era is represented by the Mars Hill Airport and the development along Big Rock Blvd, highlighting the region's mix of recreation and aviation.
