2011 Map of Hamlin

About this map

The Saint John River defines the northern edge of this borderland landscape, winding past Sixmile Island and the Upper Saint John River Valley. Near the riverbank, the community of Hamlin serves as a focal point for a network of rural roads that carry distinct local family names, such as Armand Morrow Rd, Laplante Rd, and St Pierre Rd. These routes track the movement of residents through a terrain defined by its water systems, including Martin Brook and Boney Brook which flow north toward the international boundary. Further south, the landscape transitions into a series of secluded water bodies, notably Mud Lake, Deer Lake, and Gerard Pond. This 2011 survey documents a sparsely populated region where the orientation of roads and settlements remains intimately tied to the river's path and the drainage of its many supporting brooks like Willard Brook and Lavoie Brook.
