About this map

Sandy Bay Mountain rises as a prominent landmark along the international boundary between Quebec and Maine in this late-century survey. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of major drainage systems, including the Penobscot River and several international water bodies such as Rivière Linière and Ruisseau Lindsay. The map illustrates the complex surveyor townships of Blake Gore and Sandy Bay, highlighting the intersection of political and natural boundaries.

A remote outpost for international transit is marked at the US Customs station, situated along a lonely road corridor through the forest. This area is characterized by a network of French and English named features, reflecting the cultural overlap of the borderlands, from Lac du Monument to W Sandy Stream. The topographic detail captures a terrain of glacial ponds and mountain streams, including Lac Whiskey and Lac Jolin, which feed the surrounding river basins.
