1975 Map of Mars Hill NE

About this map

The agricultural landscape of Aroostook County is revealed in this 1975 orthophotoquad, showcasing the distinct checkerboard pattern of potato fields and timbered tracts near the Canadian border. Small rural clusters and transportation hubs like Maple Grove and Fairmount anchor the western portion of the sheet, while the terrain transitions into more heavily wooded land to the east. The presence of Monson Pond provides a central landmark amidst the varied topography of this borderland region. In the south, settlements such as Easton Center and Dover Hill reflect the established rural infrastructure of the mid-1970s. This aerial perspective, prepared by the Geological Survey, offers a clear view of land use and road networks before modern development, including the cross-border proximity of Beaconsfield.
