1993 Map of Houlton

About this map

The Meduxnekeag River flows through the heart of this international borderlands survey, where the dense woodlands of Aroostook County, Maine, meet Carleton County, New Brunswick. Centered on the regional hub of Houlton, the map illustrates a network of agricultural settlements and cross-border transit points, including the Houlton International Airport and the prominent U.S. Customs station. The geography is defined by a series of low ridges such as Collins Ridge and Chandler Ridge, interspersed with numerous glacial lakes like Nickerson Lake and Drews Lake. The settlement pattern reflects the area's rural character, marked by small clusters and intersections like Starkey Corners, Jewells Corner, and Carys Mills, as well as the linear development along Littleton Station. The eastern half of the sheet covers the Canadian side, featuring the town of Woodstock situated along the broad Saint John River.
