About this map

The Saint John River defines the northern edge of this Maine landscape, marking the international border between the United States and Canada. Small settlements like Wheelock and Pierre are tucked along the St John Rd, while further inland, Violette Settlement sits near the base of Pinette Hill. This area of the Upper Saint John River Valley is characterized by a dense network of water bodies and timber-access routes, including Wheelock Lake and the Carter Brook Tote Rd.

The terrain is defined by high points like Bossy Mtn and a series of secluded ponds, such as Saint Almond Pond and Black Pond. In the southern reaches, the name Burnt Mill suggests a site of former local industry, now surrounded by the winding courses of Wallagrass Stream and Martin Brook. This survey captures the specialized transportation network of the Maine woods, featuring an ATV Trl and various "tote roads" that serve the region's interior.
