1987 Map of Saint-Eleuthere

About this map

Saint-Éleuthère serves as the primary settlement on this international border map, situated on the western shore of Lac Pohénégamook. The landscape is defined by the rigid geopolitical boundary between Canada and the United States, separating the Province of Québec from Maine. The Canadian side features a developed infrastructure with a Hospital, a Cim (cemetery), and a Station Pompage, while the Maine side, specifically Big Twenty, is characterized by more isolated terrain. A single Private Road cuts through the timberlands south of the border, providing access to the interior near Lac à Michel. Waterways like Rivière Boucanée and Ruisseau du Chat Sauvage drain the hilly topography, illustrating the watershed of the Saint John River valley during the late 1980s. This survey records the distinct contrast between the concentrated municipal growth of the Municipalité de Ville de Pohénégamook and the unorganized territories of Aroostook County.
