1988 Map of Danforth

About this map

The town of Danforth and the neighboring settlement of Weston sit along the western edge of the international boundary in this late-1980s landscape. This region of Maine is defined by the intricate waterways of Chiputneticook Grand Lake and North Lake, where the border between the United States and Canada runs through open water and past numerous points like Greenland Pt and Hayes Point. Cultural landmarks such as the Grand Lake Grange and the Butterfield Landing Boat Ramp suggest a community oriented toward the water and local agricultural organization. The terrain is dominated by prominent elevations like Greenland Ridge and Pemberton Ridge, which overlook a series of coves and islands, including Billy Island and Nan Island. Moving south, the small settlement of Flagstaff is found near Greenland Cove, illustrating the scattered nature of habitation in this heavily forested borderland.
