About this map

Prestile Stream winds through the heart of this Aroostook County landscape, defining the valley between the townships of Westfield, Easton, and Blaine. The map documents a rural agricultural and timber environment in the early 1980s, where the local economy is tied to the land and the transit corridors of the Bangor and Aroostook and Canadian Pacific railroads.

Settlement is concentrated along the river valley at Westfield, while the surrounding terrain is dotted with numerous small lakes and brooks, including Westfield Lake, Youngs Lake, and Winslow Lake. Local history is anchored by family-named landmarks like Marshall Cem and an extensive network of rural roads such as Getchell Rd and Tompkins Road. The presence of several Sand & Gravel Pits indicates the active extraction of glacial deposits, a common industry for this northern Maine region.
