About this map

Upper Saint John River Valley geography dominates this northeastern corner of Maine, where the international boundary separates Aroostook County from Canada. The Saint John River flows along the northeastern edge, while the interior is characterized by a dense network of brooks and small lakes, including Hammond Brook Lake, Martin Lake, and Big Black Brook Lake.

Settlement patterns follow the agricultural and forest lands of Doyle Ridge, with numerous roads bearing the names of local families. Key thoroughfares such as Caribou Rd and Hamlin Rd provide access to the interior, where family-named routes like Edmund Ouellette Rd, Abel Cyr Rd, and Vaillancourt Hill Rd indicate the area's deep-rooted Acadian heritage and rural development. The terrain is marked by the branching waters of the Right Fork Black Brook and Left Fork Black Brook, reflecting the region's complex drainage and timber-supporting landscape.
