About this map

The prominent ridge of Mars Hill dominates the landscape along the international boundary between the United States and Canada in northern Aroostook County. This 2018 survey documents the varied topography of the region, where the steep slopes of the hill contrast with the lower-lying agricultural and residential areas of the Mars Hill settlement. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by Prestile Stream and several smaller waterways such as River De Chute and Gizoquit Brook, which carve through the surrounding timberlands and potato fields.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant landmarks throughout the township, including Kings Grove Cem and Pierce Cem. The map also details the local infrastructure of the era, from the Mars Hill Airport to the network of rural roads like Fort Rd and Military Rd. Numerous small bodies of water, such as McPherson Lake, Hersom Lake, and Brown Lake, dot the terrain north of the town center, illustrating the typical hydrology of the Maine interior.
