About this map

The international border between the United States and Canada defines the eastern edge of this northern Maine landscape, where the southern reaches of Houlton meet rural agricultural settlements. The terrain is a network of ridges and watercourses, including Westford Hill and Daggett Hill, which overlook the winding paths of the South Branch Meduxnekeag River and Maduxkeag Stream. Local history is anchored by distinct hamlets like Jackins Settlement and Hodgdon Corners, connected by a web of named country roads such as White Settlement Rd and Jackins Settlement Rd.

Aviation and agriculture coexist here, with the Houlton International Airport positioned just north of the border-hugging Cook Brook. The map reveals the persistence of family and community landmarks, from the Union Church Cem near East Hodgdon to the neighborhood streets of Carys Mills. This survey captures the region's character as a frontier community shaped by its waterways and the enduring layout of its early land settlements.
