2021 Map of Beau Lake

About this map

The United States of America Canada international boundary cuts directly through this remote northern landscape, dividing the waters of Beau Lake and the Saint Francis River. This frontier terrain in Big Twenty Township is defined by its deep isolation and hydrographic features, including the Cross Lake Rapids at the southern end of the lake. Logging and wilderness access are represented by Estcourt Rd, which winds through the western hills toward Jones Brook. The topographic detail reveals a series of high ridges overlooking the water, with smaller interior features such as Yankeetuladi Pond and its namesake, Yankeetuladi Brook, drainage into the international river system. The map serves as a contemporary record of the shifting shoreline and elevations along this sparsely populated border region in the early twenty-first century.
