About this map

The Daaquam River winds through this international borderland, anchoring a landscape defined by its proximity to the boundary between the United States and Canada. In the late 1980s, the region was characterized by small settlements like Daaquam and Saint-Juste-de-Bretenieres on the Quebec side, while the Maine side remains largely comprised of unorganized territories such as Big Ten (T 10 R 17 Wels). A notable Customhouse sits near the crossing point, marking the transition between the two nations.

Waterways dominate the terrain, from the Southwest Branch Saint John River to numerous creeks like Ruisseau Rodrigue and Ruisseau Charland. The map reveals the functional nature of this remote area, including a Landing Strip and various provincial and county boundaries that intersect near Beauchamp and Daaquam-Nord. The presence of La Grande Bogue and other marshy features illustrates the low-lying, water-rich environment of the Maine-Quebec border.
