1987 Map of Rocky Brook

About this map

The Canada United States border cuts through this northern Maine landscape, where the Little Black River winds through a heavily forested timberland in Aroostook County. In the late 1980s, the area remained dominated by commercial logging interests, marked by networks of Private roads and multiple Gravel Pits used for maintenance. The international boundary is defined by the Québec Maine line, separating the Maine townships from the Municipalité de Saint-Athanase and MRC de Témiscouata. Small bodies of water like Lac Packington and Rideout Pond dot the drainage basins of Beaver Branch and Rocky Brook. This terrain reflects a working forest environment, where geography is organized more by township and range lines like T 19 R 12 W E L S than by established towns, offering a detailed look at the hydrology and access routes used by the timber industry at the time.
