About this map

The St Croix River serves as the international boundary between Maine and New Brunswick in this late 1980s topographical survey. The landscape is defined by the river's descent through a series of navigational hazards, including Rocky Rips, Split Rock Rips, and the notably named Meetinghouse Rips. These features, along with Canoose Ledge, illustrate the river's transition from the broad waters of Loon Bay into more turbulent passages.

Remote settlements and jurisdictional markers characterize this borderland, from Beaconsfield on the eastern bank to the township divisions of Lambert Lake and Dyer. The presence of several gravel pits suggests local resource extraction, while an inundation line near Dog Brook indicates the changing shoreline. Tributaries such as Simsquish Brook and Ellen Brook drain the surrounding marshlands, most notably the expansive Haycock Bog near Hound Brook Lake.
