2014 Map of Lille

About this map

The Saint John River forms a natural international boundary between the United States and Canada in this northernmost reach of Aroostook County. Along the southern bank in the Upper Saint John River Valley, the settlements of Lille and Notre Dame are situated along Main St. The map highlights a narrow corridor of habitation and agriculture pressed against the river, featuring localized landmarks such as the Notre Dame du Mt Carmel Cem and La Grande Island. Several local roads, including Mt Marcel St, Cyr Rd, and Grivois Rd, extend south into the higher elevations. This layout reflects the traditional Acadian long-lot settlement pattern where land parcels were oriented perpendicular to the river to ensure water access and fertile bottomland for each family farm.
