2024 Map of East Lake

About this map

The international boundary between Canada and the United States bisects this northern landscape, cutting a straight line through the water and forest. Much of the terrain is defined by the elongated basin of Lac de l'Est, which crosses from Quebec into Maine to become East Lake. This dual naming reflects the cross-border geography of the North Woods, where the French influence of the St. Lawrence watershed meets the remote timberlands of Aroostook County. To the southeast, Little East Lake sits at the base of rising terrain, feeding into the Chimenticook Stream drainage. The map reveals a land of watercourses, including the Rivière des Pointes and Ruisseau Pockwock, with very limited human infrastructure apart from the gravel path of E Lake Rd tracing the eastern shore.
