The north half on top of New Limerick, that’s what Ludlow Maine is to the west of Houlton, the Aroostook County seat. With a population around 404 people, an elevation of 830 feet.

Where Moosebrook School is now that serves as the town office. Another further west on the corner of the Russell and Ludlow Road.
