1963 Map of Campbellton

About this map

Campbellton and the surrounding borderlands of New Brunswick and Maine are defined here by the winding Restigouche River as it reaches Chaleur Bay. This area features a network of French-Acadian and English settlements, including St-Alexis-de-Matapedia and Mann Mountain Settlement, linked by the Canadian National railway. The interior is largely shaped by the forestry and resource economy of the early 1960s, evidenced by numerous outposts like Rapids Depot and Caribou Depot, alongside Rock Mill. The topography transitions from the agricultural holdings near Atholville to the high peaks of the Black Mountains, including Mt Carleton. Large protected areas like the Kedgwick Game Refuge dominate the northwestern quadrant, while specialized locations such as the Miller Line Cache highlight the remote nature of the international boundary line.
