About this map

Canada United States Of America international boundaries define this borderlands terrain in Somerset County, where the remote timberlands of Maine meet Quebec. The landscape is characterized by a series of high-elevation water bodies and drainage systems, most notably Little Saint John Lake and the headwaters of Hurricane Brook. Remote operations are anchored by La Croix Depot, a significant point of interest for those studying the regional logging history and the infrastructure required to manage these isolated northern forests.

Transportation through the area relies on the Golden Rd, a famous private artery through the North Maine Woods. The map details a complex hydrologic network including Line Pond, Roberts Pond, and Clish Pond, alongside several small waterways like Fish Brook and Frost Pond Brook. These features illustrate the quiet, unsettled nature of the border country during the early twenty-first century, providing a clear record of the topography and drainage patterns before the landscape underwent further environmental or industrial changes.
