2024 Map of Picard Brook

About this map

California stands as a primary settlement point within this northern Aroostook County landscape, situated near the intersection of California Rd and Swedberg Rd. The terrain is defined by a dense network of waterways, including the Little Madawaska River in the southwest and the central flow of Halfway Brook. Higher ground is marked by prominent elevations such as Stockholm Mtn and Moose Hill, while smaller water bodies like Mud Lake dot the northern reaches. The road network reflects the region's rural character, with routes like Jemtland Rd and Stockholm Rd providing access to the more isolated areas. This modern survey illustrates a landscape of managed forests and remote drainages, where local life remains centered around a few key thoroughfares and the many tributaries, such as Violette Brook and Picard Brook, that feed the larger river systems of the Maine woods.
