1927 Map of Sandy Bay

About this map

Hilton Farm and Sandy Bay Farm occupy a narrow corridor of cleared land along the international border in this 1927 survey. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Penobscot River South Branch, which winds through the townships of Sandy Bay T 5 R 3 and Prentiss T 4 R 4. This northern wilderness, mapped by R. J. Belton and the International Boundary Commission, reveals a territory structured by water and timber, with camps like South Branch Camp and notable water features such as Little Canada Falls. The topography is dominated by massive landforms including Bald Mountain and Moose Mtn, while the irregular boundary with Quebec follows the high ridgeline and numerous alpine waters like Fisher Ponds and Cape Horn Pond.
