2014 Map of Frenchville

About this map

The Saint John River defines the international boundary between Maine and New Brunswick, carving through the Upper Saint John River Valley where Acadian heritage remains central to the landscape. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the village of Frenchville and the neighboring settlement of Upper Frenchville are situated along the riverbank, oriented around Main St. Local genealogy is anchored at the Saint Luce Cem, while the surrounding terrain rises toward prominent elevations such as Glass Hill and Gagnon Hill. Numerous waterways, including Daigle Brook, Dickey Brook, and Burgoin Brook, drain the high ground toward the river. This borderland geography is further marked by river features like Levesque Island and Michaud Island, illustrating the close relationship between the valley's topography and its historic settlement patterns.
