2021 Map of Van Buren

About this map

The Saint John River forms a natural international boundary between the United States and Canada in this northern Maine landscape. The town of Van Buren serves as a focal point for the Upper Saint John River Valley, where the community’s layout is defined by the river's curve and a series of neighborhood streets such as Champlain St and Laplante Hts. Local genealogy and history are anchored by significant sites like the Saint Bruno - Saint Remi Catholic Cem and the Grand - Riviere Cem. To the northwest, the settlement of Keegan sits along the riverbank near Les Trois Island, while the local aviation history is represented by Bresett's Mountainside Airport. Numerous waterways including Violette Stream and Hammond Brook carve through the terrain toward the border, illustrating the drainage patterns of this borderland region.
