Mont Mégantic (French:[mɔ̃megɑ̃tik];Abenaki:Namesokanjik^[3]) is amonadnock located inQuébec,Canada, about 15 km (9.3 mi) north of theborder between Québec and theU.S. states ofMaine andNew Hampshire. Mégantic is on the border of theregional county municipalities ofLe Granit andLe Haut-Saint-François. Its summit is the highest point of the latter. Many geologists believe that Mont Mégantic is a member of theMonteregian Hills formed by theNew England hotspot, as it has the same mechanism and depth ofintrusion.^[4]
