2021 Map of Monticello

About this map

Monticello sits at the heart of this Aroostook County landscape, where the North Branch Meduxnekeag River meanders through a terrain defined by glacial lakes and agricultural woodlots. The map documents the persistent rural character of the Maine-New Brunswick borderlands, specifically marking the international boundary between the United States of America and Canada along the eastern edge. For genealogists, the map identifies several small burial grounds, including Jewell Cem, Village Cem, and Foster Cem, which anchor the local history of nearby settlements like Sharp and Hill. A dense network of local roads such as Station Rd and Hill Siding Rd suggests the historical importance of the railway corridor that once served these upland communities. Scattered water bodies like Jewell Lake, Conroy Lake, and Gentle Lake dot the countryside, providing a clear view of the drainage patterns north of Lowell Hill.
