About this map

The settlement of Forest City straddles the international boundary on this 2018 survey, positioned at the critical waterway connection between Grand Lake The Arm and Spednic Lake. The landscape is defined by its complex shoreline and island-dotted waters, including Partridge Island, Treasure Island, and Moon Island. The terrain rises sharply at Walls Hill, which overlooks the surrounding lake system and local roads such as Walls Rd and Forest City Rd.

This map captures the remote character of Washington County, where the border with Canada is traced through the center of the thoroughfares. It provides a modern record of local landmarks like Mud Lake Falls and Mud Lake Stream, essential for those studying the regional hydrology or the historical development of these borderland communities. The naming of small features like Loons Nest and Idle Isle reflects a long-standing local culture tied to the lakefront.
