About this map

The tidal rivers and labyrinthine coastal archipelago of Washington County define this landscape, where Addison and Addison Point overlook the lower reaches of the Pleasant River. This maritime environment is characterized by significant topographic features such as The Highlands and Porcupine Hill, which rise above the surrounding marshes and brooks. Settlement patterns follow the winding coastal roads, notably Indian River Rd, which connects the northern town centers to the smaller fishing outposts like South Addison and the rocky protrusions of Cape Split.

Navigation through the complex waters of Pleasant Bay and Moosabec Reach is mapped in detail, revealing numerous named islands and ledges including Crowley Island, Carrying Place Island, and the Duck Ledges. Genealogists and local historians can find specific points of interest such as the Wescogus Cem near the northern boundary. The coastal topography includes distinctive landmarks like Bungy Rock and Hardwood Hill, providing a clear view of how the shoreline shaped the region's development.
