About this map

The Upper Saint John River Valley defines the international boundary between Maine and New Brunswick in this 2021 study. Development is concentrated heavily along the Saint John River, specifically following the path of Main St and Frenchville Rd through the settlements of Frenchville and Upper Frenchville. This settlement pattern reflects the traditional Acandian ribbon-lot style, where access to the water and the primary road was paramount for local families.

South of the river, the terrain rises toward Glass Hill and Gagnon Hill, bisected by numerous drainage systems like Daigle Brook and Bungoin Brook. Local history is anchored by the presence of Saint Luce Ch and the adjacent Saint Luce Cem, which serve as cultural landmarks for the community. The map also captures the seasonal landscape of the river, including Levesque Island and Michaud Island positioned along the border.
