1975 Map of Mars Hill NE

About this map

Aroostook County farmland meets the international border in this mid-1970s orthophotoquad, which reveals the stark geometric patterns of the region's agricultural fields. The settlement of Easton Center and the smaller locality of Fairmount anchor the western portion of the map, situated amidst a landscape of potato farms and woodlots. The map provides a unique visual record of the border between Maine and New Brunswick, where the dense timber of the Canadian side, including the area near Beaconsfield, contrasts with the cleared land to the west. Local landmarks like Maple Grove and the waters of Monson Pond are clearly visible through the aerial imagery. This specific format captures the exact tree lines and field boundaries as they existed during the 1975 flyover, offering genealogists and land researchers a precise look at rural Maine life near Dover Hill before modern development altered these family tracts.
