About this map

Lowelltown marks the primary settlement in this remote borderland where the international boundary separates Maine from Quebec. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Moose River, which winds through the high terrain between Moose Hill and Lowell Hill. This 2014 survey documents a network of logging roads and water bodies that shape the local geography, including the eponymous Boundary Pond and the tucked-away Unknown Pond near the northern edge of Franklin County.

Transport through this isolated region is centered on Lowelltown Rd, which provides access to the scattered ponds and brooks that feed the river system. Elevations reach their peak at Dome Mtn and Clear Pond Mtn, overseeing a drainage network that includes Hogans Brook, Boundary Brook, and Mill Brook. The map illustrates the contemporary state of these northern woods, capturing the relationship between the rugged topography and the thin infrastructure of the Maine border.
