1942 Map of Cherryfield

About this map

The Narraguagus River winds through this coastal Washington County landscape, serving as a central artery for settlements like Cherryfield and Millbridge. During the early 1940s, the region was characterized by its unique glacial topography, most notably the expansive Blueberry Barrens and the prominent Pine O Ridge. These sandy plains provided the foundation for the area's specialized agriculture, while the intricate coastline around Harrington Bay and Pleasant Bay supported maritime activity. A significant scientific feature is the U S C & G Survey Base Line, stretching between West Base and East Base, marking a critical terrestrial measurement point for coastal mapping. Further inland, Schoodic Lake and various brooks like Trout Brook drain through the wooded townships, illustrating the transition from the upland barrens to the tidal inlets and islands of Narraguagus Bay. Small rail-linked or coastal hamlets such as Unionville and Dorman punctuate the landscape, reflecting an era of localized trade before the full modernization of the coastal corridor.
