2021 Map of Saint Omer

About this map

The international border between the Canada United States of America defines the landscape of this remote Maine borderland in northern Aroostook County. This survey, based on data collected between 2003 and 2019, shows the precise demarcation of the boundary line as it cuts through the high-elevation terrain of the North Maine Woods. While the map is dominated by the hydrology of unnamed streams and the dense contour intervals of the surrounding ridges, it primarily serves as a modern spatial record of the geopolitical boundary. The stark division between the nations is the primary feature of this quadrangle, illustrating the diagonal path of the border as it separates American soil from Quebec.
