About this map

The international boundary between Maine and New Brunswick anchors this 1980s landscape, where the southern reaches of Houlton meet the rural township of Hodgdon. A complex network of transportation routes defines the area, including the Bangor and Aroostook Railroad, the Canadian Pacific Railroad, and the sprawling Houlton International Airport in the northeast. The map details a transition from the commercial streets of Houlton to a landscape of timbered hills and scattered agricultural settlements.

Local history is preserved in the naming of smaller communities like Jackins Settlement, Carys Mills, and Union Corners, which serves as a gateway near the Customs station. Family and local landmarks are clearly marked, from Hovey Hill to the Lambert Sch and Union Ch. Waterways such as the Meduxnekeag River and Maduskeag Stream weave through the terrain, illustrating the hydrological connection between the United States and Canada in this borderland region.
