1975 Map of New Sweden

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The town of New Sweden and its agricultural surroundings are captured in this 1975 orthophotomap, showing the distinctive land-use patterns of this Swedish colony in northern Maine. The map detail highlights the settlement at New Sweden Station and the outlying community of Acadia, where small farm clearings give way to dense forest. This aerial-based survey documents the rural character of the region before modern development, tracing the winding paths of the Little Madawaska River and Caribou Stream. Unlike traditional topographic maps, this orthophotoquad provides a direct visual record of the 1970s landscape, illustrating the precise boundaries of potato fields and woodlots that defined the local economy. From the village center of North Lyndon to the rail corridor near Barretts, the map serves as a primary source for understanding the spatial organization of these historic Aroostook County settlements.
