About this map

The Canada United States border defines this 1970s orthophoto map, showing the rural landscape where northern Franklin County meets Quebec. The transition between nations is marked by the Chateaugay Port of Entry U S Customs and the Herdman Canadian Customs station, serving as vital transit points in an area dominated by agricultural parcels and thick Woods. The settlement of Earlville sits south of the line, while Herdman and Rockburn are situated just to the north.

Waterways like the Hinchinbrook River and the Marble River wind through the terrain, alongside local names like Brooklet and the mysterious Lost Nation Trail. This aerial perspective, captured in the mid-1970s, reveals the geometric patterns of fields and the network of local roads such as Cookline Road and Farker Road that supported the international border community before modern infrastructure expansions.
