About this Item
1842 STEEL ENGRAVING ANTIQUE ART PRINT CANADIAN HISTORICAL VIEW St John River rises in Somerset County in northwestern Maine and flows northeast, forming approximately 15 miles of the International Boundary between Maine and Quebec before flowing entirely through northern Maine in western Aroostook County for a distance. Near Allagash, it is joined by the Allagash River. Below St. Francis, the St. John forms part of the International Boundary between Maine and New Brunswick. Flowing northeast, it passes Fort Kent, Maine, and between Edmundston, New Brunswick and Madawaska, Maine, where it turns southeast, flowing between Van Buren, Maine and St. Leonard, New Brunswick. Near Grand Falls, New Brunswick it enters New Brunswick, continuing to flow south through the fertile valley framed by the rising hills of the Appalachian range in Victoria and Carleton counties. For the rest of its journey, the river flows entirely within New Brunswick, although it roughly parallels the International Boundary. At Perth-Andover, the river is joined by the Aroostook and the Tobique rivers. Further south at Woodstock the river turns southeast away from the border region, flowing past Fredericton, where it becomes navigable, and Oromocto. Turning south from Oromocto, the river is joined by the short Jemseg River which empties New Brunswick's largest lake, Grand Lake and its various tributaries. South of Fredericton the river's flow rate is diminished due to the gently sloping river bottom and it meanders through many low islands used for pastureland during dry periods in summer and fall. South of the Jemseg, the St. John River is surrounded by the low hills of the St. Croix Highlands - another component of the Appalachian range and it is joined by several lateral bays, including Belleisle Bay and the Kennebecasis River. The St. John River meets the Bay of Fundy at Saint John where the river changes direction diurnally due to the exceptionally strong tides, causing a unique phenomena called the Reversing Falls Rapids in a gorge running through the centre of the city.
