Quote:
New Brunswick has had its share of boundary disputes over the years, almost going to war with the state of Maine in 1839 then squabbling with Quebec over Lake Temiscouata a few years later.
But along the Missaguash River between Aulac, N.B., and Amherst, N.S., there's nary a whisper of contention over a five-hectare historical curiosity.
No farmers fluster. No politicians bluster. No militias muster.

To improve water flow and drainage in the Missaguash River, engineers straightened an oxbow segment of the river, stranding a small parcel of NB on the NS side of the border. Interesting article.
