Then (c 1900): Grand View Farm, owned by Henry Tomkins, with Lake Memphremagog and Owl's Head mountain in the background. Unknown photographer, possibly JJ Parker, used with permission from the Stanstead Historical Society.
Now (July 2017): The drone was sent up from the east side of Cedarville Road, between Descentes 17 and 18. That the forests have not been here "forever" is clearly shown by this pair of images. DJI Phantom 3, summer, 2017.
