1985 Map of St. Francis

About this map

St Francis sits at the northern edge of the Maine woods, where the confluence of the St Francis River and the St John River defines the international boundary between the United States and Canada. This 1980s-era topographic study captures the riverfront settlement and the thin corridor of development along the valley floor, including a Railroad line and a local Cem (cemetery). The landscape is dominated by heavy timberlands and numerous drainage systems like Rankin Brook and Musket Brook flowing toward the main channels. On the New Brunswick side, the map details Saint Francois Parish, while the Maine side includes portions of Allagash. Notable islands such as Grew Island and Kendall Island sit near the Mouth of St Francis, marking the shift from the narrow river valley to the broader waters of Glasier Lake to the northwest.
