About this map

The prominent ridge of Mars Hill dominates this 1980s landscape on the international border between Maine and New Brunswick. The twin settlements of Mars Hill and Blaine serve as the local anchors, centered on the Bangor And Aroostook railroad line and the flowing Prestile Stream. This era shows a community well-served by civic and religious institutions, including St Anns Ch, St Josephs Ch, and the Aroostook Medical Center.

Genealogists can find numerous family-centric landmarks and rural burial grounds such as Pierce Cem and Kings Grove Cem. The map meticulously records the boundary with Canada, marked by a series of survey points from Mon 65 down to Mon 52a, tracing the edge of Aroostook CO against Victoria Carleton. Small hamlets like Listerville and Good Corner sit just across the line in New Brunswick, illustrating the close-knit nature of these border communities linked by routes like Knoxford Road and Blaine Road.
