New
Brunswick, Canada
|
|
| New
Brunswick (French: Nouveau-Brunswick) is one of Canada's
Maritime Provinces, and the only officially bilingual
province (French and English). New Brunswick is bounded
on the north by Quebec's Gaspé Peninsula and
Chaleur Bay and on the east by
the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and Northumberland Strait.
To the south, the narrow Isthmus of Chignecto connects
it
to
peninsular Nova Scotia, most of which is separated from
the mainland by the Bay of Fundy; on its west, the province
borders the American state of Maine. The boundary with
the U.S. was settled during the Aroostook War largely
through the efforts of businessman and political activist
John Baker. |
The
total land and water area of the province is approximately
70,000 square kilometres.
About 80% of the province is forested, with the
other 20% consisting of agricultural land and
urban areas.
New Brunswick lies entirely within the Appalachian
Mountain range, a chain of ancient, eroded mountains
which have created river valleys and low, gently
rolling hills throughout large parts of the province. |

the remote and more rugged Miramichi Highlands, Chaleur
Uplands, and the Notre Dame Mountains with a maximum
elevation at Mount Carleton of 820 metres. |
