About this map

The St John River forms a natural international border between the United States and Canada in this northern Aroostook County survey. The Fish River system dictates the settlement pattern, as the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad follows the water south from Fort Kent Village through the riverside communities of Soldier Pond, Wallagrass, and Plaisted. This era shows a landscape deeply integrated with the forest and river economy, evidenced by local industry like Plourde Mill and Burnt Mill, alongside numerous logging outposts such as Sancier Camp and Laliberte Camp.
