About this map

The Upper Saint John River Valley defines this borderland landscape, where the international boundary between Maine and Canada follows the centerline of the Saint John River. This 2014 survey documents the enduring settlement patterns of northern Aroostook County, particularly within the riverside communities of Grand Isle and Saint David. The local geography is deeply marked by Acadian heritage, evident in the naming of features like Ruisseau à Lavoie and Thibodeau Island.

Away from the riverbanks, the terrain rises into upland ridges crisscrossed by family-named roads such as Lavertue Rd, Morneault Rd, and Gendreau Rd. These routes connect dispersed homesteads to central landmarks like the Saint Gerard Cem. The interior landscape is punctuated by small water bodies including Germain Lake and Lavoie Lake, which feed the various brooks and the Little River as they drain toward the primary river valley.
