2018 Map of Burntland Pond

About this map

The Canada-United States border cuts diagonally through this remote northern landscape, where the settlement of Lac Frontière sits at the edge of the international line. This 2018 survey reveals a terrain defined by complex hydrology and logging access roads like Number 1 Rd and Depot Rd. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the winding path of the Northwest Branch Saint John River, while higher elevations rise toward Sugarloaf Mtn in the north. The area is dotted with numerous water bodies including Burntland Pond, Presley Lake, and Beam Pond, suggesting a region shaped by timber interests and seasonal water flow. The inclusion of French-named features such as Rivière Leverrier and Petit Ruisseau Maringouin highlights the cultural intersection at the Maine-Quebec boundary, where local commerce and geography have long been tied to the Saint John River watershed.
