About this map

The St John River defines the international boundary between the Canada United States border on this 1975 orthophotograph, providing a detailed look at the industrial and agricultural landscape of northern Maine and New Brunswick. The urban centers of Madawaska and Edmundston dominate the northern corridor, where the river serves as both a geographic divide and a shared resource. To the south, the terrain shifts into a series of long, rectangular agricultural clearings and woodlots characteristic of the region's land use patterns, leading toward Long Lake near the settlement of Cleveland. Local crossroads like Dionne Corner and Fournier anchor the rural infrastructure between the river and the southern lakes. This U.S. Geological Survey imagery offers a precise view of the cross-border connectivity and land parceling along the New Brunswick Maine border during the mid-1970s.
