About this map

The Saint Croix River defines this borderland landscape, separating the American settlements of Calais and Milltown from their Canadian counterparts. In the early 21st century, the area's infrastructure reflects a long history of water power and commerce, anchored by the Milltown Power Station Dam and the International Bridge. Further south, the village of Baring sits near the river's edge, where the terrain is punctuated by significant islands like Sawdust Island and McKeesick Island.

Railroad heritage is evident through points such as Saint Croix Junction and Campbells Siding, which historically linked the river towns to wider trade networks. The map also captures the managed hydrology of the region, featuring the Middle Magurrewock Dam and Upper Magurrewock Dam along Magurrewock Stream, which winds past the base of Magurrewock Mountain. Local landmarks like the Calais Post Office and Calais Municipal Wharf mark the civic heart of the community near the waterfront.
