1958 Map of Danforth

About this map

Danforth serves as the primary hub of this international borderland, situated where the Canadian Pacific railroad intersects the upper reaches of the Baskahegan Stream. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of glacial features, notably the numerous long ridges such as Pemberton Ridge and Greenland Ridge that define the drainage patterns of the Lower Hot Brook Lake and the international waters of Chiputneticook Lake. To the west, the Mattawamkeag River flows through South Bancroft, illustrating the remote river-and-rail economy of the mid-20th century.
