About this map

Fort Kent Village and its neighboring settlements anchor this Aroostook County landscape along the international border between Canada and the United States Of America. The area's identity is defined by the winding course of the Fish River, which flows north toward its confluence with the Saint John River at the International Bridge. Along this waterway, the historic reliance on timber and transport is visible through features like Plourde Mill and the industrial activity at Fort Kent Mills.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the rural layout of 19th-century outposts such as Michigan Settlement and Soldier Pond, where Saint Josephs Cem stands near the riverbanks. The influence of early rail transport is preserved at Sutton Siding, while family-named landmarks like Stevens Hill and Michaud Hill provide a geographic context for the region's agricultural and logging heritage. The map also captures numerous smaller drainages, including Wallagrass Stream and Perley Brook, which carved the valleys for local roads like Michigan Settlement Rd and Aroostook School Rd.
