1987 Map of St. Omer

About this map

St. Omer sits at the heart of this 1980s borderlands survey, where the international boundary between Québec and Maine follows a series of straight lines and natural watercourses. The landscape is defined by the steep rises of Montagne du Rochu and Montagne des Cinq Milles, interspersed with a network of drainage including Rivière du Rochu and Rivière des Cinq Milles. Settlement is concentrated along the border road, featuring the small cluster at St. Omer with its Cem and Sew Disp, as well as the named locations of Cote a Deroy and Depoteir. This map illustrates the intersection of administrative divisions like T 16 R 15 Wels and the Municipalité de Saint-Omer, showing the sparse, utilitarian development of this northern timber and border region before the turn of the twenty-first century.
