Kevan, you may find this interesting
http://www.francomaine.org/English/Histo/Canada/Canada_corridor.html#

There is also a link to some other historic roadways.

" This portion of the website focuses on the major routes of entry that had come into use by the time of the large French-Canadian
and Acadian migrations between Maine, Québec, and New Brunswick in the late-1800s. It is meant to not only show the pathways into
Maine, but also where additional information might be found in towns along the routes. If one knows from where travellers came and
where they ended up, it is possible to figure out the most likely route they followed and the towns where information might be
found."

Sharyn
