About this map

The St Croix River defines this 1940 survey of the international border between the United States and Canada. This river corridor is a landscape of rapids and chutes, with numerous named landmarks such as Tyler Rips, Rocky Rips, and Meetinghouse Rips marking the water's descent. In the southern portion of the sheet, the settlement of Kellyland sits near the significant Grand Falls, indicating the river's historical importance for industry and power at the edge of Baileyville.

Away from the main river channel, the terrain transitions into dense wetlands and secluded water bodies like Haycock Bog and Hound Brook Lake. Sparse human habitation is limited to small sites like Crocker Camp, emphasizing the remote character of this region during the early 1940s. The map provides a detailed view of the natural drainage patterns, including Millberry Brook and Catamount Bk, which flow through the timberlands of T 1 R 1 and T 1 R 2.
