The boundary line described in the 1793 Treaty of Paris did not match the geography of the area and created many questions.

This map, created in 1613 by Samuel de Champlain, was copied about 1798-99 for the proceedings of the commissioners of the 4th article of the Treaty of Ghent to decide the boundary line between Maine and New Brunswick.
