2018 Map of Big Rapids

About this map

The Saint John River winds through this heavily forested section of Aroostook County, creating a series of waterway challenges including the Big Rapids and Fox Brook Rapids. This modern topographic survey shows a landscape defined by timber management and remote access, where the river serves as the central artery for a network of brooks such as Hafford Brook and Walker Brook. The presence of Old School House Rd suggests the location of historical community structures in an area now primarily navigated by logging and service routes like Old River Rd and the Michaud-Tote Rd. Unique terrain features like Poplar Island and the convergences of the N Br W Twin Brook and S Br W Twin Brook highlight the complex drainage patterns of the Maine woods.
