2014 Map of Burntland Pond

About this map

The international border between Maine and Quebec bisects this terrain, where the northern reaches of Aroostook County meet the settlement of Lac Frontiere. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of water bodies, including Burntland Pond, Presley Lake, and the winding course of the Northwest Branch Saint-John River. High ground is anchored by Sugarloaf Mtn, providing a prominent landmark above the surrounding wetlands and ponds like Beaver Pond and Mud Pond. Remote access through this heavily wooded region is facilitated by routes such as Number 1 Rd and Depot Rd. The presence of Burntland Brook and Oak Brook feeding into the river system illustrates the hydrologic character of this borderland area during the early twenty-first century.
