About this map

Jackins Settlement and Union Corners anchor the southern agricultural reaches of this 2011 survey along the Canadian border. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Meduxnekeag River and its major tributary, the South Branch Meduxnekeag River, which flows past the Hodgdon Dam. While the northern edge captures the municipal core of Houlton, including the Houlton Post Office and the elevation of Reservoir Hill, the rest of the map reveals a rural network of family-named roads and hills.

Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy locations like East Hodgdon and Carys Mills, or locate the Hodgdon Cemetery near the junction of McIntyre Rd. The terrain is punctuated by several prominent heights, including Hovey Hill and Henderson Hill, which oversee a complex drainage system that includes Whirly Brook and Maduskeag Stream. The eastern margin of the map follows the international boundary, reflecting the close proximity of this Aroostook County community to New Brunswick.
