About this map

The Saint John River forms a critical international boundary here, separating the town of Saint John from Canada. This riverine landscape is punctuated by large islands like Hunnewell Island, Wheelock Island, and Caton Island, which have long influenced the local navigation and settlement patterns of this border region. The community of Saint John is centered near the riverbanks, where religious life and local history are anchored by the Saint John Baptist Church Cem and the Saint John Catholic Cem.

Away from the immediate riverfront, the terrain rises into the highlands of Aroostook County, where smaller settlements like Bradbury and Back Settlement are tucked into the hills. Numerous watercourses, including Sylvain Brook, Petite Brook, and Carter Brook, drain the high ground toward the main river valley. This interior landscape is networked by specialized routes such as the Carter Brook Tote Rd and an ATV/Snowmobile Trl, reflecting the area's modern recreational use and its enduring connection to the timberlands.
