1989 Map of Hardwood Mountain SW

About this map

The Canada-United States international boundary cuts across this remote timberland, where the Southwest Branch St John River and its tributary, the Little Southwest Branch St John River, dictate the landscape. In this late twentieth-century survey, the Maine side is organized by township divisions T 8 R 19 Wels and T 7 R 19 Wels, indicating a region defined more by land management than by permanent town settlements. On the Quebec side, drainage features such as Ruisseau Morning Nord and Ruisseau Morning Sud feed into the river system. Evidence of managed access is clear through the labeling of a Barriere and a Gate on the logging roads, while local resource extraction is marked by several Gravel Pits and a specific Gravel Pit along the waterway.
