About this map

The Saint John River forms the international boundary in this northern Maine landscape, where the settlements of Frenchville and Upper Frenchville sit along the southern bank. The map reveals a community defined by its proximity to the water and the narrow fertile strip of land between the river and the rising terrain to the south. Local infrastructure is anchored by the Frenchville Post Office and the Upper Frenchville Post Office, serving a population connected by roads such as Church Ave and Charette Hill Rd.

Agricultural and transport patterns are evident in the placement of Gilman Siding along the rail corridor and the named features in the river, including Levesque Island and Michaud Island. Inland, the geography rises toward Glass Hill and Gagnon Hill, while drainages like Daigle Brook and Dickey Brook cut through the landscape toward the Saint John. This 2011 survey documents the persistent boundary-town character of the St. John Valley.
