1986 Map of Violette Stream

About this map

The St John River forms a major international boundary here, separating the town of Sainte-Anne-de-Madawaska in New Brunswick from the northern woods of Maine. This mid-1980s survey documents a landscape defined by its waterways and timber-related history, with Violette Stream and Caniba Brook cutting through the highlands. A significant human-made feature is the Old RR Grade, which traces a path through the southern portion of the sheet near Cyr Plantation, marking the legacy of regional transport that once served this borderland. The terrain is dotted with markers of local industry and natural resources, including a Gravel Pit near the river and the secluded Violette Pond. The map provides a detailed record of the township lines for Van Buren and Grand Isle, showing the intersection of Maine's municipal boundaries and the Canadian frontier at La Septieme Island.
