About this map

The Canada-United States border defines the southern edge of this map, where the settlement of Derby Line sits directly against the international boundary. This area is characterized by the complex drainage basin of the Rivière Tomifobia, which flows through a landscape marked by numerous named tributaries including Ruisseau Ticehurst, Ruisseau Pinkham, and Ruisseau Laflamme. The prominence of French-named watercourses such as Ruisseau Dustin and Ruisseau Pomeroy reflects the cultural geography of this borderland region near Quebec. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds near the border, including the Derby Line Cem, Fortin Cem, and Cowles Chace Cem. Further north, the terrain features larger water bodies like Étang Peasley, illustrating the wet, wooded character of the countryside before the brooks converge and flow northward into Canada.
