About this map

The St Croix River defines the international boundary between Maine and New Brunswick, serving as the industrial and transit corridor for the border communities of Calais and Milltown. This 1930s-era landscape reveals a region transitioning from raw timber extraction to organized industrial sites, notably at Woodland, where the Maine Central railroad meets the river at Woodland June. The interior is dominated by a complex network of glacial lakes and streams, with Meddybemps Lake at its heart, dotted with named landmarks like Masters Island and Stone Camp.

Evidence of rural community life is scattered throughout the township boundaries of Alexander, Meddybemps, and Charlotte, including the Damon Sch and North Union Sch. To the east, the rail line connects small outposts like Young Siding and St Croix June, while the United States Canada Highway begins to reshape overland travel alongside traditional water routes such as Conic Stream and Dennys River.
