HIS tract of territoiT lies to the east of the international boundary, theheadwaters of the Moose River arising just across the Canadian line. Itcomprises some ten or fifteen townships in Franklin County, extending fromthe boundary to Moosehead Lake, and embracing the different tributaries ofthe Moose River, and a dozen or fifteen lakes.
