1953 Map of New Sweden

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The Little Madawaska River winds through this northern Aroostook County landscape, defining a region where Swedish heritage and the potato-farming economy intersect. The settlement pattern is anchored by New Sweden and North Lyndon, with the Bangor and Aroostook railroad providing the critical link for local produce. Rail sidings like Rista Siding and Ben Thomas Siding point to a time when trackside loading was central to rural life.
