About this map

The Narraguagus River and Pleasant River dominate this coastal Maine landscape, carving paths through glacial deposits toward the complex shoreline of Harrington Bay and Narraguagus Bay. In the northern interior, the expansive Blueberry Barrens and Pineo Ridge represent a specialized agricultural and geological environment, notably crossed by the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey Base Line with its West Base and East Base survey markers.

Coastal commerce is evident in the maritime infrastructure, including a designated Steamboat Route navigating between islands like Dyer Island and Birch Is. inland toward the fishing and shipping hubs of Millbridge and Steuben. The map documents the turn-of-the-century village structures of Cherryfield and Harrington, where roads and early rail lines intersect with the tidal estuaries that powered the region's early timber and maritime economies.
