About this map

The confluence of the St John River, Allagash River, and St Francis River defines this northern borderland in the early 1930s. The settlement at Dickey serves as a central hub where the Allagash meets the larger St John, marking a landscape dominated by water transport and timber interests. The international boundary with New Brunswick is clearly delineated along the St Francis and St John rivers, featuring points such as Conners Cove and Glazier Lake.

Remote river life is evidenced by a network of rural education and temporary camps, including the Log Cabin Sch, Kelly Sch, and Lindberg Sch. The geography is characterized by challenging water features like Big Rapids, Poplar Island Rapids, and Fox Brook Rapids, which dictated the movement of goods and people. Scattered camps such as Boat Landing Camp and trails like the Rocky Mountain Trail suggest a region still heavily reliant on the Tote Road network and river navigation before modern infrastructure.
