About this map

Houlton serves as the focal point of this northern borderland survey, where the town’s grid gives way to the dispersed hamlets of Aroostook County. The landscape is defined by the northward flow of the Meduxnekeag River and its various tributaries, including the South Branch Meduxnekeag River and Maduxnekeag Stream. These waterways wind through a series of prominent elevations such as Reservoir Hill and Westford Hill, which break up the agricultural and forested terrain of the Maine-New Brunswick border.

Small, heritage-rich communities like Jackins Settlement, Carys Mills, and East Hodgdon are connected by a network of rural roads such as Calais Road and Bangor Street. Local genealogy is anchored by sites like Union Church Cem and Hodgdon Cem. The presence of the Houlton International Airport at the international boundary underscores the area's role as a primary gateway between the United States and Canada.
