1975 Map of Mars Hill SW

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Westfield serves as the central settlement on this orthophotoquad, situated in a landscape where agricultural clearing meets dense Maine woodland. The imagery, captured by the Geological Survey in the mid-1970s, reveals a distinct pattern of long, narrow rectangular fields that follow the undulating terrain of the Aroostook region. This parceling indicates a well-established potato-farming economy where access to water and transport is paramount. The north-south corridor of Prestile Stream carves through the center of the sheet, joined by smaller tributaries like Clark Brook and Rocky Brook. The photo-mosaic format provides an unvarnished view of the rural infrastructure, showing the relationship between isolated farmsteads and the water sources like Bennett Lake in the northeastern corner. This specialized view is particularly useful for researchers tracing land-use changes and the exact footprint of forest cover before late-20th-century shifts in regional agriculture.
