About this map

St Andrews occupies the prominent peninsula between Passamaquoddy Bay and the St Croix River in this mid-century survey of the Maine-New Brunswick border. The international boundary splits the river and bay, separating the Canadian rail terminus of the Canadian Pacific and the Biological Station from the American settlements of Robbinston and North Perry. On the Maine shore, the map reveals a landscape of rural infrastructure including the U S Customs office, the Brewer Cem, and the Shore Sch near Loring Cove.

The hydrographic details, compiled from surveys as early as 1887, highlight the maritime importance of the region. Navigational markers like the Tongue Shoal Lighthouse and Daybeacon (C) point to an era when coastal trade was vital. Inland, the Chamcook Hills rise above the harbor, while the Back District Ch serves the farming community in Perry. This map illustrates the tight geographic and economic connection between these two nations along the northern Atlantic coast.
