About this map

The international border between Maine and Quebec defines the character of this 1990 survey, showing the interconnected watersheds and border crossings of Franklin County and the MRC de Frontenac. Near the southern edge, the tiny settlement of Coburn Gore sits adjacent to the U.S. Customs post, while the northern terrain is dominated by the sprawling waters of Lac aux Araignées. This landscape is marked by its transition from industrial and residential activity in Quebec to the more isolated pond systems of Maine.

Evidence of the local timber economy appears in the settlement of Saint-Augustin-de-Woburn, where a Scierie (sawmill) and Brûleurs (burners) are noted. The complex hydrology of the region is traced through features like Arnold Pond, Horseshoe Pond, and the Rivière Clinton. Rising above the surrounding bogs and lakes is the prominent peak of Louise Mountain, situated directly on the boundary between the two nations.
