1977 Map of Riviere Monument

About this map

Riviere Liniere flows through this remote stretch of the international border between Quebec and Maine, as documented by aerial photography from the late 1970s. This orthophotograph provides a clear visual record of the timbered landscape and logging access roads that define the region. In the southern portion of the sheet, the high ground of Sandy Bay Mountain overlooks the drainage of the S Br Penobscot R. The map centers on the border itself, marked by the label Monument, where the small Lac du Monument sits directly on the dividing line. For those researching the history of the North Woods or border surveying, this map offers a precise view of the terrain before more modern developments, showing the dense forest canopy and the naturally winding watercourses that have historically guided surveyors and trappers through this isolated territory.
