2021 Map of Merrill Mountain

About this map

The international boundary between the United States and Canada defines the high-altitude landscape of this 2021 survey, where the peaks of the Boundary Mountains form a natural divide. Rising to prominence are Merrill Mtn and Van Dyke Mtn, which overlook a network of drainages that feed into both nations. The terrain is characterized by its hydrological features, including the remote Lower Nathan Bog and the headwaters of Kibby Stream and W Br Moose River. This modern topographic study illustrates how the international line weaves across the summits of Caribou Mtn and Mt Pisgah, reflecting a border established by natural topography. The absence of roads or settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of this region, where drainage systems like Mill Brook and Number One Brook carve through steep elevation gradients near the border crossings.
