About this map

The Saint John River forms the international boundary in this northern Maine landscape, where the settlement of Wheelock and its associated Wheelock Siding sit along the riverbanks. The interior terrain is defined by timber and seasonal labor, evidenced by the presence of a Sugar Camp and the Belanger Sugar Camp near Bossy Mountain. Small clusters of habitation like Violette Settlement and Belanger Settlement are connected by local routes such as Violette Settlement Rd and Franklin School Rd.

Waterways dominate the geography south of the river, with Wheelock Lake, Spaulding Ponds, and Wallagrass Stream cutting through the forest. The presence of Burnt Mill and various camps, including Carter Brook Camp, points to a history of small-scale industry and seasonal resource extraction. This survey preserves the exact locations of these family-named settlements and working sites before they are reclaimed by the Maine woods.
