2014 Map of Ninemile Bridge

About this map

The Saint John River defines the landscape of this remote corner of Maine, where the waterway carves a path through the timberlands of Aroostook County. This area, centered on the crossing at Ninemile Bridge, reflects the working-forest character of the North Maine Woods. A network of primitive roads, most notably Thibodeau Rd, provides access to the interior for logging and recreation. The terrain is characterized by a dense system of drainages, including Houlton Brook, Conners Brook, and Ninemile Brook, which feed into the main river channel. Smaller water bodies like Ed Jones Pond and seasonal flows such as Little Gilbert Brook are scattered throughout the hills, illustrating the intricate hydrology of the region. This 2014 survey serves as a modern record of a landscape that remains sparsely inhabited and largely dedicated to the traditions of the Maine wilderness.
