1976 Map of St. Pamphile

About this map

St Pamphile straddles the international border in this 1976 orthophotoquad, showing a landscape defined by the distinct long-lot land divisions characteristic of Quebec’s seigneurial system. Unlike the standard grid patterns found in much of the United States, these narrow, elongated parcels radiate from the central settlement and roads, optimizing access to transportation routes and water. The terrain is marked by the winding course of the Black River at the bottom of the sheet, joined by Good Brook. This aerial perspective provides an unfiltered look at the intersection of forest management and agriculture along the Maine-Quebec border, capturing the density of structures in the village center and the intricate network of farm lanes extending into the surrounding timberlands.
