1975 Map of Mars Hill NW

About this map

The United States Canada international border defines the eastern edge of this 1975 orthophotograph, where the agricultural landscape of Aroostook County meets Maine New Brunswick. This aerial perspective captures the rural character of the region during the mid-1970s, revealing a dense patchwork of cleared fields and woodlots. The settlement of Easton serves as a central hub, while the rail-oriented site of Easton Station sits to the north, illustrating the historical importance of the railway in transporting the area's agricultural products. Prestile Stream winds through the southern portion of the quadrangle, passing near the small community of Phair. In the northern section, the cluster at Parkhurst further demonstrates the dispersed settlement pattern typical of this borderland farming country.
