1978 Map of West of Norton Port of Entry

About this map

The international border between the Canada United States defines the center of this 1970s orthophoto image map, capturing a landscape of dense woodlands and secluded water bodies. To the north in Quebec, Baldwin Mills sits near the northern tip of Lyster Lake, while a Fish Hatchery is situated along the Niger River. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Barnston Hill and Page Hill, with the southern portion of the image dominated by Holland Pond and the aptly named The Hurricane. Small settlements such as South Barnston and Heathton appear as clearings in the forest, connected by rural routes like Mountain Road. This specific survey, produced in cooperation with the U.S. Customs Service, provides a unique look at the remote terrain west of the Norton Port of Entry before modern development altered the woodland interfaces.
