About this map

The Saint John River serves as the prominent international boundary between Maine and Canada, defining the physical and cultural geography of this northern borderland. Settlements like Frenchville and Upper Frenchville cling to the river's southern bank along Main St, where the valley's limited flat land meets the rising elevations of Glass Hill and Gagnon Hill. Local history is centered around the Saint Luce church and its adjacent Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted Acadian heritage of the Saint John Valley.

Numerous French-named tributaries, such as Ruisseau à Félix-Martin and Ruisseau Trois-Milles, drain the forested northern landscape across the border. Within the river itself, Michaud Island and Levesque Island highlight the shifting nature of the waterway. The road network, including Charette Hill Rd and Gagnon Ave, follows the terrain's ridges and valleys, illustrating the agricultural and residential patterns of this Franco-American community.
