About this map

The St Croix River forms a jagged international boundary between Washington County, Maine, and New Brunswick, Canada, in this 1940 survey. The river's character is defined by a series of dramatic water features, from the northern Tyler Rips and Rocky Rips down to the significant drop at Grand Falls. This downstream section is dominated by the Grand Falls Flowage, where the river widens significantly before reaching the industrial settlement at Kellyland.

Away from the riverbank, the interior of the unorganized townships—including T 1 R 3 and T 1 R 2—is a wilderness of dense drainage networks. Numerous brooks like Catamount Brook and Milberry Brook feed into the main river channel, while isolated landmarks like Crocker Camp and the marshy expanse of Haycock Bog offer clues to the early 20th-century logging and resource economy of this borderland region.
