1986 Map of Landry

About this map

The St Francis River forms a winding international boundary in this northern Maine and Quebec frontier during the mid-1980s. The landscape is defined by its binational character, where the settlement of Landry and the Big Twenty township of Aroostook County meet the Canadian municipalities of Rivière-Bleue and Saint-Elzéar-de-Témiscouata. This survey illustrates the intricate water network feeding the border, including the Petite Rivière Bleue and various small streams like Cours d'eau Bérubé and Ruiss Botsford. Cultural and economic activity is clustered around the river crossings and rail lines, with sites like the Terrain d'aviation and the Kelly Rapids serving as notable landmarks. The map documents a sparsely populated but geographically significant timber and water corridor where Maine and Québec share a complex physical and political geography.
