1904 Map of Cherryfield

About this map

Blueberry Barrens dominate the northern landscape of Washington County in this early 1900s survey, illustrating the unique agricultural and glacial geography of Downeast Maine. The U. S. C. and G. Survey Base Line cuts a precise path through Pineo Ridge between West Base and East Base, a critical technical feature of the region's early topographic surveying. The tidal waters of Narraguagus Bay and Pleasant Bay define the southern coastline, where maritime commerce and settlement concentrate at Millbridge and Steuben. Inland, the Narraguagus River and Pleasant River flow through established lumber and agricultural centers like Cherryfield and Harrington. This map captures a coastal economy transitioning from maritime dependence toward terrestrial farming and surveying, evidenced by the numerous small settlements like Dorman, Unionville, and Marshville linked by early roads and local waterways.
