2011 Map of Beau Lake

About this map

Beau Lake dominates the center of this remote borderland landscape in Big Twenty Township, Maine, where the international boundary between the United States and Canada follows the water's path. The map details a complex system of waterways and basins that define the local drainage patterns. To the south, the lake narrows significantly before broadening into Cross Lake and eventually reaching Glazier Lake. This network of interconnected water bodies is fed by smaller tributaries, including Jones Brook and the distinctively named Yankeetuladi Brook. The terrain west of the main lakes is dotted with secluded water features such as Yankeetuladi Pond and Mud Pond, illustrating the high-latitude wetland and forest environment typical of this northernmost stretch of Maine's Aroostook region in the early 21st century.
