1967 Map of Maida

About this map

Maida sits at the northern edge of the prairie in the late 1960s, defined by its position along the international boundary between the Canada United States border. This borderland character is anchored by the Port of Entry U S Customs, marking the transit point into Manitoba. The landscape is primarily shaped by the meandering course of the Little North Pembina River, which cuts through the townships of Mount Carmel and West Hope. Local life is recorded through the locations of the Stilwell Ch and Elkwood Cem, alongside several unnamed cemeteries. Water management is prominent at the Mt Carmel Dam, which regulates the river as it flows toward the eastern edge of the quadrangle, reflecting the region's agricultural and hydrological development during this period.
