About this map

Monticello serves as the primary hub in this portion of Aroostook County, situated where the North Branch Meduxnekeag River cuts through the landscape. The settlement pattern follows a distinct grid of agricultural roads, including Gentle Rd and Britton Rd, connecting smaller named locales such as Sharp, Hill, and Jewells Corner. This 2011 survey reveals a territory shaped by its waterways and elevation changes, notably at Lowell Hill.

Genealogical interest is found at Jewell Cemetery near Jewell Lake and Foster Cemetery just north of the main village. The presence of Camp Williams on the river and numerous named brooks like Hoyt Brook and Russell Brook underscores the importance of the river system to the local identity. The mapping detail captures the transition from the concentrated village center of Monticello to the sprawling farmsteads and woodlots that characterize this northern Maine border region.
