About this map

The St John River forms a wide, braided international boundary on this 1975 orthophotoquad, separating the northern woods of Maine from New Brunswick, Canada. Along the southern bank, the settlement of St John sits within a corridor of cleared agricultural land that follows the river’s course, contrasting sharply with the dense, textured forest of the interior. This aerial perspective, captured in early October, provides a clear view of the land-use patterns in Aroostook County, where development remains tightly clustered near the water. Away from the border, the terrain transitions into a more remote landscape defined by isolated water bodies like Hunnewell Lake and Bran Lake. The map serves as a precise record of the Canada United States border before modern forest management and subsequent development altered the woodland canopy and settlement footprint.
