About this map

The St John River corridor and the expansive waters of Eagle Lake define this northern borderland, where the Bangor and Aroostook RR follows the riverbank to the international boundary. The landscape is dotted with early 20th-century family settlements and seasonal outposts, including Violette Settlement and Michigan Settlement, alongside specialized sites like the Bulanger Sugar Camp and Kent Pit.

A dense network of rural education is visible, with namesake institutions such as Shakespeare Sch, St Anthony Sch, and Roosevelt Sch serving these remote communities. The transition from timber harvesting and seasonal camps like Laliberte Camp to small village centers like Wallagrass and Plaisted is clearly documented. Along the Fish River, labels like Fish River Falls and the Fish Screen point to the critical role of the local waterways in both the regional ecology and the economy of the era.
