1940 Map of Kellyland

About this map

The St Croix River serves as the dominant spine of this borderland survey, marking the international boundary between Maine and New Brunswick. This 1940 record documents the hydrology of the river system before later development, capturing a sequence of navigational hazards including Tyler Rips, Meetinghouse Rips, and Canoose Rips. The lower portion of the map shows the industrial and settlement activity at Kellyland and within the town of Baileyville, situated near the significant water control points of Grand Falls and the Grand Falls Flowage. Interior wilderness reaches are defined by a network of drainage basins such as Catamount Brook and Millberry Brook, while small outposts like Crocker Camp appear along the riverbanks. The map's detailed contouring reveals the complex wetland environment of Haycook Bog and the isolated waters of Hound Brook Lake.
