2024 Map of Beau Lake

About this map

The Canada-United States border bisects this northern wilderness, following the winding course of the Saint Francis River and the deep waters of Beau Lake. This frontier landscape in Aroostook County is defined by its complex hydrography, where the international boundary threads through Cross Lake Rapids and connects a network of remote waterways. On the Maine side, isolated access is provided by Estcourt Rd and Landry Rd, which skirt the edges of high-elevation wetlands like Mud Pond and Yanketuladi Pond. Across the water in Canada, several distinct water bodies including Lac Brisson, Lac à Pierre, and Petit lac English punctuate the terrain. The map documents the persistent nature of this boundary, tracing where English Touladi Brook and Yanketuladi Brook feed into the river system that has historically separated these two nations.
