2014 Map of Charles Pond

About this map

The international border between the United States and Canada cuts a sharp diagonal across this northern landscape, separating Aroostook County, Maine from the Quebec province. The terrain is defined by its drainage systems, dominated by the Little Saint-Roch River in the north and the Big Black River winding through the southern reaches. This area is sparsely developed, centered around quiet water bodies like Charles Pond and Bruleau Pond. Access to this remote borderland is provided by a network of timber and transit routes, including Maibec Rd, Robinson Rd, and Depot Rd. The map illustrates the topographic relationship between Saint Amants Brook and the larger river basins in a region where the natural environment remains the primary feature across the political boundary.
