Houlton Maine sits at the US-Canada border crossing to Woodstock, New Brunswick on Interstate 95 — the primary highway crossing between the US northeast and Atlantic Canada. Aroostook County is the largest county east of the Mississippi River and the northernmost agricultural region in the US, producing significant potato crops. The county experiences extreme winter weather that can shut down the border crossing and isolate communities. Emergency response is challenging given the vast, rural geography.
