About this map

The Saint John River forms a dominant natural boundary along the international border in this 2011 survey of Aroostook County. The town of Van Buren serves as the primary hub, where the Van Buren Post Office and Van Buren Seaplane Base are situated near the riverbanks. The local landscape is defined by the winding course of Violette Stream and Violette Brook, which feed into Violette Lake near the Violette Lake Dam. This waterway network historically supported the region's development, evidenced by the clustered settlements of Keegan and Kennedy Terrace to the northwest.

Infrastructure is anchored by local routes such as Maddore Rd and Laplante Rd, while small-scale aviation is represented by Morrill Airpark. Several islands, including Septiemel Island, Les Trois Island, and King Island, dot the river channel, highlighting the fluvial character of this northern Maine border community. The presence of Reservoir Hill provides a distinct topographic landmark overlooking the town's residential streets.
