About this map

The St John River serves as the international boundary between Maine and New Brunswick in this mid-1980s survey, where the twin border towns of Madawaska and Edmundston sit at the confluence with the Madawaska River. This corridor is a hub of industrial and educational activity, featuring the Canadian National Railways and Bangor and Aroostook RR lines alongside the Universite de Moncton Centre Universitaire St-Louis-Maillet.

Away from the river valley, the landscape transitions into the timbered heights of Cyr Mountain and Lake Mountain, dotted with family-named drainages like Ouellette Brook and Gagnon Brook. Local transit is marked by significant landmarks such as the Northern Aroostook Regional Airport and Cleveland Siding, while the southern reaches open onto the northern tip of Long Lake at Pelletier Island. Cultural focal points like St Davids Ch (Rc) reflect the enduring Acadian heritage of this cross-border region.
