About this map

The St John River flows through this remote northern Maine landscape, marking a territory defined by timber operations and international boundaries in the mid-1950s. The northern edge of the map tracks the border between Quebec and Maine, where the Little Black River and Campbell Branch navigate the thick forest. Scattered outposts like Campbell Depot Camp and the Forest Service Camp suggest the seasonal rhythms of the logging industry, while established sites like Ouellette Farm and Castonia Farm sit near the river's edge.

Navigational hazards such as Schoolhouse Rapids and Longs Rapids punctuate the river as it winds toward the east. Inland, the terrain rises toward the Rocky Mtn Lookout Tower, accessible by the Rocky Mtn Trail. The complex drainage network, including Chimenticook Stream and Pocwock Stream, reveals a landscape where waterways served as the primary thoroughfares before the expansion of modern road systems.
