About this map

Woodstock serves as a central hub on this international border survey, illustrating the deep connections between Aroostook County, Maine, and New Brunswick, Canada. The Saint John River and Aroostook River systems facilitate both industry and settlement, with the Bangor & Aroostook and Canadian Pacific railroads weaving through agricultural and timber lands. Notable landmarks include the Tobique I.R. 20 and the Acadia Forest Experiment Station, reflecting the region's diverse land management from indigenous reserves to scientific forestry.

The landscape is characterized by prominent peaks like Mars Hill and the Costigan Mtns, which rise above a network of smaller communities such as Florenceville, Hartland, and Plaster Rock. On the Canadian side, the reach extends to the Southwest Miramichi River and the settlements of Boiestown and Doaktown. This 1959 data captures a pre-modernization era of northern transport, where localized ridges like Hawkins Ridge and Chandler Ridge still defined the movement between river valleys.
