2024 Map of Charles Pond

About this map

The international border between the Canada and the United States of America cuts diagonally through this remote section of northern Maine, where the landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Saint John River system. The Big Black River and Little Saint Roch River flow through dense woodlands, joined by smaller tributaries like Shields Branch and Saint Amants Brook. This area is characterized by isolated water bodies including Charles Pond and Bruleau Pond, reachable only by a network of specialized routes such as Shields Branch Rd and Blanchette Rd. The map illustrates a contemporary timberland environment where traditional logging access roads like Depot Rd and Robinson Rd provide the only infrastructure in an otherwise wild terrain. Across the border, the Rivière des Gagnon further highlights the shared geography of the North Woods.
