About this map

Beau Lake St Francis River dominates this northern frontier, serving as a prominent international boundary between the United States and Canada. In the late twentieth century, the landscape remains characterized by its complex network of water bodies and timberlands, spanning Aroostook and Madawaska counties. The terrain is marked by significant features like Cross Lake Mountain and the turbulent Cross Lake Rapids at the outlet of Cross Lake.

Remote ponds and brooks such as Yankeetuladi Pond and Mud Pond are scattered across the townships of T 18 R 11 Wels and T 19 R 11 Wels. The map also illustrates the close proximity of Canadian waters, including Lac Brisson and Petit Lac English, highlighting the cross-border geography of the St. John River Valley region. These features suggest an area primarily utilized for forestry and traditional outdoor recreation during this era.
