About this map

The St Croix River serves as the central artery and international boundary throughout this 1940 survey, separating Maine and New Brunswick. The landscape is defined by the river’s descent through numerous whitewater stretches, including Tyler Rips, Rocky Rips, and Meetinghouse Rips. Industrial activity is centered at the southern edge of the map at Kellyland and Grand Falls, where the river’s power was harnessed for the local economy in Baileyville.

Further north, the terrain transitions into a dense network of water bodies and seasonal camps. The map documents smaller settlements like Crocker Camp and significant natural features such as Hound Brook Lake, Loon Bay, and the wide Flowage area. Numerous tributaries, including Sunshine Brook and Millberry Brook, feed into the main channel, illustrating the complex drainage of this borderland region before modern development altered these traditional waterways.
