2014 Map of Fort Kent North

About this map

The Saint John River serves as the international boundary between Aroostook County, Maine and New Brunswick, Canada, anchoring the geography of this northern borderland. The town of Fort Kent occupies the confluence where the Fish River meets the larger waterway, serving as a cultural and educational hub for the Upper Saint John River Valley. Evidence of the region’s long-standing community roots is found at the University of Maine at Fort Kent and the nearby Saint Louis Cem and Old Saint Louis Cem, which reflect the French-Acadian heritage of the residents. Rising above the river plain, the steep terrain of Charette Hill overlooks a network of local roads such as Frenchville Rd and Kent Rd, which follow the contours of the drainage basin carved by Regiest Daigle Brook.
