About this map

The Saint John River forms the international boundary between Maine and Canada, anchoring a landscape defined by Aroostook County's timber and water resources. Early 21st-century settlement patterns are concentrated along the river corridor and the northern roadway network, where Wheelock, Pierre, and Violette Settlement are located. The southern interior transition is marked by several high-elevation features, including Bossy Mtn and Pinette Hill, which overlook a network of specialized logging and access routes like the Carter Brook Tote Rd.

Hydrological features dominate the central and southern portions of the map, including Wheelock Lake, the Spaulding Ponds, and Black Pond. Historically significant for its implied industrial roots, Burnt Mill sits near the crossing of Wallagrass Stream. The map also details numerous small waterways such as Saint Almond Brook and Martin Brook, which feed into the larger river system, reflecting the traditional reliance on these drainages for northern Maine's woodland economy.
