2018 Map of Charles Pond

About this map

The international border between Canada and the United States cuts diagonally across this landscape, defining the northern limit of Aroostook County, Maine. This remote stretch of the North Woods is characterized by its dense network of waterways, including the meandering Big Black River and its northern tributaries. Local timber and access routes like Depot Rd and Blanchette Rd snake through the wooded terrain, providing essential infrastructure for the region's long-standing forestry industry. Small glacial features such as Charles Pond and Bruleau Pond are tucked between the hills, while the Little Saint Roch River and Rivière des Gagnon mark the drainage patterns along the Canadian boundary. The presence of named tracks like Hideaway Rd and Robinson Rd suggests the continued importance of these woods for both commercial harvesting and seasonal recreation.
