About this map

Monticello serves as a central point of settlement in this Aroostook County landscape, situated where the North Branch Meduxnekeag River flows through the rolling terrain. The area's agricultural and rural character is defined by a network of local roads including Us-1, which connects the smaller clusters of Jewells Corner, Sharp, and Hill. Numerous small water bodies such as Gentle Lake, Britton Lake, and Jewell Lake dot the region, reflecting the glacial geography of northern Maine.

Local history and genealogy researchers will find several well-placed burial grounds, including Jewell Cem, Village Cem, and Foster Cem. The international boundary with Canada is clearly marked along the eastern edge of the quadrangle, with the Dead Stream and Wilkins Rd running parallel to the border. Elevated points like Lowell Hill provide a perspective on the traditional land use patterns that have sustained this community south of Littleton.
