1985 Map of Fort Kent North

About this map

The St John River defines the international boundary between Maine and New Brunswick on this 1980s-era survey, where the town of Fort Kent serves as a critical point of entry and commerce. The confluence of the Fish River and the larger waterway anchors the settlement pattern, which is characterized by traditional Acadian-style long lots visible in the surrounding rural concessions. To the north, the landscape rises toward Grande Montagne, while smaller hamlets like Soucy and Baker dot the upland terrain. Local infrastructure of the mid-1980s is clearly delineated, including the Public Boat Ramp and Gravel Pits near the riverbank. This map captures the region's unique geography, where water bodies like Lac Caron and Lac a Eugene are connected by a network of seasonal brooks and local routes like 161 and 120, reflecting the cross-border connectivity of the Upper Saint John River Valley.
