About this map

The Northwest Branch St John River winds through this 1980s landscape along the international boundary between Maine and Quebec. This remote borderland, defined by the township of T 12 R 17 Wels, is characterized by an extensive network of waterways and glacial ponds. Notable elevations include Sugarloaf Mountain and Montange a Roberge, which overlook the dense northern woodlands.

Water features dominate the topography, ranging from the sizeable Presley Lake and Burntland Pond to smaller catchments like Mud Pond and Bean Pond. The map reveals the specialized hydrological environment of the region, where drainage systems like Burntland Brook and Depot Stream feed into the larger St. John River basin. This survey provides a precise look at the transition from the Aroostook County interior toward the Canadian border at Lac Frontiere.
