Halls Stream
(known as
Rivière Hall
in Canada) is a 25.2-mile-long (40.6 km)
tributary of the
Connecticut River
in eastern
North America
. For most of its length, it approximately follows the
Canada–United States border
, with the province of
Quebec
Canada
) to its west and the state of
New Hampshire
United States
) to its east.
Geography
edit
The stream flows from north to south, with a
logging
landscape on the New Hampshire side, and a mixture of woodland and farms on the Quebec side. Near the southern end of the stream, the international boundary diverges from Halls Stream and heads west, along a line which, when it was originally surveyed, was intended to be on the
45th parallel
. South of this line, Halls Stream enters the state of
Vermont
, flowing through the town of
Canaan
in
Essex County
for a little over one-half mile (0.80 km). In the village of
Beecher Falls, Vermont
, it empties into the
Connecticut River
, which forms the boundary between Vermont and New Hampshire.
Where Halls Stream forms the international border, it divides the following municipalities:
East side: Town of
Pittsburg
Coos County
New Hampshire
West side: Municipalities of
Saint-Malo
Saint-Venant-de-Paquette
, and
East Hereford
, in
Coaticook Regional County Municipality
Estrie
administrative region,
Quebec
History
edit
Historically, Halls Stream factored into an international boundary dispute in this area, and it formed part of the border of the so-called
Republic of Indian Stream
