About this map

The Norton Port of Entry U S Customs serves as the focal point of this international border landscape, where the Vermont settlement of Norton meets its Quebec counterpart, Stanhope. The map illustrates a corridor defined by the Canadian National railroad and the Coaticook River, which winds northward across the Canada United States boundary. This 1978 color image map reveals the precise intersection of international commerce and the natural environment, showing how the local road network and rail line are funneled through this specific geographic pass.

Beyond the immediate border crossing, the terrain is marked by numerous watercourses including Averill Creek and Black Turn Bk. The area south of the border is dominated by timbered slopes and features such as Hedgehog Hill and the uniquely named Number Five Brook and Number Six Brook. The proximity of the Stanhope Canadian Customs to the American station highlights the closely integrated nature of these two border communities during the late 1970s.
