About this map

Bois Bubert Island and its surrounding archipelago define this maritime landscape along the Washington County coast. This survey illustrates a complex network of granite outcrops and navigational hazards where Narraguagus Bay meets the Gulf of Maine. The map serves as a vital record of the coastal shelf, detailing specific landforms such as Baldwin Head and Tom Leighton Point, alongside the intricate waterways of Douglas Island Harbor.

Maritime history is embedded in the naming of numerous shoals and ledges, including the Trafton Half-tide Beacon and Seal Cove Ledge. Further out in Western Bay, isolated features like Jordans Delight and Flint Island stand as markers for coastal navigation. The presence of small coastal roads such as Bar Island Rd and Wyman Rd indicates the limited land-based infrastructure supporting the fishing and seafaring communities of the Downeast region.
