1930 Map of Vanceboro

About this map

The international boundary between Maine and New Brunswick defines this 1930 survey, following the winding course of the St Croix River. The village of Vanceboro serves as the primary hub, situated where the Maine Central and Vanceboro R R converge at the river's edge. This region is characterized by a complex network of waterways, including the Chiputneticook Lakes and La Coute Lake, punctuated by numerous rapids or "rips" such as Mile Rips, Elbow Rips, and Halls Rips. The landscape reflects a mix of early 20th-century transport and seasonal habitation, with landmarks like Cold Water Tavern and Camp Solitaire situated along the northern lake shores. Topographic details such as Sussie Hill and named points like Hedgehog Pt and Ice House Pt provide a clear view of the varied terrain before modern development altered these remote borderlands.
