it is really more sinuous than purely zigzag
since it includes only 2 straight lines & actually wiggles about far more than it zigs or zags
but in any case
it is because the political decision was made in 1842 that the international border should follow
in parts
the saint francis & saint john rivers
& also
in much greater part
the watershed divide between the saint Lawrence & the rivers that flow into the gulf of Maine
& this latter southwesternmost portion of the border is presumably the area you find so extreme
but all rivers & watershed divides do tend to wander about quite a bit
& these are no exception to the general rule
