1989 Map of North Amity

About this map

Cary Plt and the town of Amity define the international borderlands of eastern Aroostook County in this late-1980s topographic study. The landscape is characterized by a dense network of watercourses, including the South Branch Meduxnekeag River and Monument Brook, which follows the boundary between the United States and Canada. Small rural settlements like North Amity, South Amity, and Cary are connected by forest roads, with local industry evidenced by a Gravel Pit and proximity to North Lake. Notable elevations such as Spring Hill and Pole Hill rise above the drainage basins of Anderson Bog and Mud Brook. Genealogists may find interest in the documented Cem near the northern boundary, while the myriad family-named streams like Durrell Brook, Greenleaf Brook, and Williams Brook illustrate the historical human footprint on these woods and wetlands.
