1975 Map of Frenchville SW

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The St John River carves a deep valley through the international borderlands between northern Maine and New Brunswick in this 1975 orthophoto. The imagery reveals the unique long-lot land divisions characteristic of Acadian settlement patterns, where thin strips of farmland stretch perpendicular to the river's edge. Along the southern bank, the communities of Frenchville and Upper Frenchville follow the river road, while the Canadian side features St-Hilaire and Albertine. Higher elevations to the north show the denser forest and rural outposts like Colin and Verret. This specific aerial perspective provides researchers with a clear view of the mid-1970s land use, showing the transition from the fertile river bottoms to the timbered ridges in a region defined by its binational connection.
