Settled by Acadians, the town lies just south of Fort Kent on the Fish River, whose Eagle Lake outlet is in the southern portion of the township.

Soldier Pond, named after the bloodless Aroostook War, is a bulge in the Fish River. The Bangor and Aroostook Railroad hugs the west bank of the river and Eagle Lake from the town of Eagle Lake to Fort Kent. The village of Wallagrass Station is located at the southern end of the town, where Station Road leads to the shore of Eagle Lake.
