About this map

The Restigouche River and its many tributaries, including the Kedgwick River and Upsalquitch River, dominate this mid-century survey of the northern Maine and New Brunswick borderlands. This region, characterized by extensive timberlands and isolated settlements, is anchored by the industrial and transport hubs of Campbellton and Grand Falls. The rail-dependent economy of the early 1960s is evident along the Canadian National line, which connects several smaller outposts like Upsalquitch Sta and St-Quentin.

Remote logging operations and supply points such as Southeast Depot and Caribou Depot are scattered throughout the dense river networks, providing a look at the infrastructure required for the northern woods. For those tracing industrial roots, the Nickel Mill near St-Quentin and the Rock Mill near Robinsonville highlight the primary industries of the era. The map also delineates the Kedgwick Game Refuge, a large protected area within this complex system of ridges and high points, including Mt Carleton.
