2024 Map of Daaquam

About this map

The Canada-United States border defines the eastern edge of this remote wilderness in Somerset County, where the settlement of Daaquam sits at a critical international crossing point. This landscape is shaped by an intricate network of waterways, most notably the Rivière Daaquam and the Southwest Branch Saint John River. The mapping reflects the cultural convergence of the Maine-Quebec borderlands, featuring a mix of English and French toponyms such as Otter Brook alongside Rivière à la Loutre and Ruisseau Sauvage. While the American side is primarily characterized by dense forests and wetland systems, essential timber and transport access is provided by Realty Rd and St Juste Rd. This 2024 survey documents the hydrographic patterns of the upper Saint John River basin, including the drainage of Rivière Shidgel and Ruisseau Rodrigue.
