2024 Map of Saint Francis

About this map

The Upper Saint John River Valley serves as a natural international boundary, where the Saint John River and Saint Francis River meet at the border between Maine and Canada. The settlement of Saint Francis centers near the river junction, clustered along Main St. This landscape is defined by its deep river valleys and numerous tributary brooks, such as English Touladi Brook, Falls Brook, and Petite Brook, which drain the surrounding timbered uplands into the main river channel. Genealogists can identify key community landmarks like the Saint Pauls Congregational church and its associated Saint Pauls Congregational Cem, alongside the Old Saint Charles Cem. The presence of Rankin Rapids and Grey Island highlights the traditional importance of river navigation and geography in this northern Aroostook County borderland.
