About this map

The dual-named peak of Mars Hill dominates the landscape along the international boundary between Maine and New Brunswick, as seen in this 2011 survey. The settlements of Mars Hill and Blaine are concentrated in the southwestern quadrant, where the Mars Hill Dam regulates the local waters. This region is characterized by a dense network of water bodies and streams, including Prestile Stream, Rocky Brook, and the River De Chute, which flows north toward the border.

Rural infrastructure is well-documented through numerous family-named roads such as Hersom Rd, Knoxford Rd, and Boynton St. For those tracing local history or genealogy, the presence of the Pierce Cemetery and the settlement of Kings Grove provides specific points of interest. The map also delineates several smaller lakes like McPherson Lake, Brown Lake, Delano Lake, and Hersom Lake, which are interspersed among the brooks that define the drainage patterns of this border country.
