About this map

The Canada United States of America border cuts diagonally across this remote section of northern Aroostook County, Maine, marking the edge of the Lac Frontiere settlement area. This landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, where the Northwest Branch Saint John River and numerous tributaries like Burntland Brook and Depot Stream flow through timberlands. A series of industrial access roads, including Number 1 Rd and Depot Rd, provide the primary infrastructure for the region, connecting isolated water bodies such as Presley Lake and Burntland Pond.

Dominating the northern skyline is Sugarloaf Mtn, a prominent landmark for navigation within the deep woods. The map illustrates the transborder nature of local geography, showing how water features like Lac Frontière and Rivière Leverrier extend across the international line. This area reflects the modern state of Maine's working forests, where seasonal waterways like Oak Brook and Bean Pond remain central to the topography of the North Woods.
