1987 Map of East Lake

About this map

The international boundary between Canada and the United States bisects this remote landscape, where the waters of Lac de l'Est cross from the Municipalité de Mont-Carmel in Quebec into Aroostook County, Maine. This 1987 provisional survey details a terrain defined by drainage patterns and international borders, notably where the lake transitions into East Lake and connects to Little East Lake. The hydrological network is the primary feature of the region, including the headwaters of the Chimenticook Stream and the winding Rivière des Pointes. Located within the township of T 17 R 14 Wels, the area shows no major settlements, instead highlighting the precise demarcation of the Quebec-Maine line and the various brooks, such as Pocwock Stream, that feed into this trans-border watershed.
