1950 Map of Bois Bubert

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Bois Bubert Island and its surrounding archipelago define this coastal segment of Washington County where the cold waters of Narraguagus Bay meet the Atlantic Ocean. The map reveals a complex maritime landscape of deep harbors and hazardous ledges, centered on the towns of Harrington and Addison. Navigation is the dominant theme, marked by the presence of a lighthouse on the southern reaches and a Day Beacon guiding vessels through the numerous channels. Local family names are etched into the geography at places like Tom Leighton Point and Jo Leighton Ground, reflecting a generation of coastal residents tied to the sea. From the sheltered waters of Little Bois Bubert Harbor to the exposed heights of Big Head, the survey documents the intricate shoreline and scattered island outposts like Dyer Island and Flint Island just after the mid-century.
