Houlton
Tucked into the wooded uplands of northern Maine, Houlton is a place whose character is shaped by its position near the Canadian border. As the seat of Aroostook County, it is also a principal road crossroads, where Interstate 95 meets US Route 1. The town lies near the Meduxnekeag River, a tributary of the Saint John River, and developed streets soon give way to forest and working rural land. Hancock Barracks, built in 1828, recalls the era when the boundary between the United States and British North America remained contested. Houlton continues to serve as a regional centre for northern Aroostook County and cross-border travel.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
