2024 Map of Merrill Mountain

About this map

The Canada United States Of America international boundary cuts across this Franklin County landscape, marking a remote borderland where drainage systems diverge across high peaks. To the north and east, elevations climb toward the summits of Merrill Mtn and Van Dyke Mtn, while the southern reaches are dominated by the slopes of Mt Pisgah. This topography dictates a complex network of headwaters, including the West Branch Moose River and the meandering Rivière aux Araignées. In the lower elevations, the presence of Lower Nathan Bog suggests the damp, poorly drained valley floors characteristic of this high-latitude terrain. Smaller tributaries such as Mill Brook, Number One Brook, and Bear Brook carve through the mountains, illustrating a wilderness shaped almost entirely by water and elevation rather than human infrastructure or settlement.
