Description: This landing of 16-foot spruce logs is situated by the Little Tobique River just below Lake Nictau. These logs were piled here during wintertime. With the spring breakup of ice, they are driven down the Little Tobique River some 60 miles to the Fraser Companies Limited Sawmill in Plaster Rock, N. B.
