About this map

The St Croix River serves as the international boundary between Maine and New Brunswick in this mid-century topographic survey. The landscape is defined by its maritime and industrial connections, notably centered around Whitlocks Mill and the sweeping shoreline of Oak Bay. The rugged coastal topography includes prominent elevations like Devils Head and Elliott Mtn, while the interior is dominated by the marshy expanse of Carson Heath and the protected lands of the Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge.

Infrastructure of the late 1940s is clearly delineated, with the Canadian Pacific railroad corridor and local telephone lines traversing the borderlands. Significant coastal features such as St Croix Island and Mark Lighthouse Pt highlight the region's navigational importance. The map also captures several smaller inland water bodies, including Beaver Lake and Nashs Lake, which drain toward the bay via Beaver Bk.
