About this map

The international border between Maine and Quebec defines this landscape, tracing the St Francis River and the winding course of the St John River. In Aroostook County, the settlement of Allagash serves as a gateway to the Allagash State Wilderness Waterway, while smaller hamlets like Dickey and Landry anchor the riverfront. The terrain transitions from the elevations of the Monts Notre Dame in Canada to the timbered ridges of Boat Landing Mountain and Johnson Brook Mountain in the United States.

Waterways dominate the region's geography, with the St John River featuring numerous technical stretches such as the Castonia Rapids, Schoolhouse Rapids, and Belly Rapids. To the north, Beau Lake and Glazier Lake provide significant water bodies along the boundary. The map also documents Canadian communities like Sainte-Perpétue and Mont-Carmel, illustrating the cross-border cultural and geographic ties of this northwoods territory during the late twentieth century.
