1948 Map of Cherryfield

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Cherryfield serves as the inland hub of this Washington County landscape, situated where the Maine Central railroad crosses the Narraguagus River. Downstream, the river broadens toward the coastal settlement of Milbridge, a port area defined by its proximity to Steuben Harbor and Joy Cove. The topographic data, based on 1940s surveys and 1970s revisions, illustrates a maritime and river-driven economy connecting the timber-rich interior to the Atlantic coast. Small hamlets like Unionville, Smithville, and East Steuben are linked by the rail line and a network of coastal roads. Notable landmarks include Burke Hill and several cemeteries, such as Evergreen Cem, which provide valuable location data for genealogists. The terrain is marked by numerous low-lying wetlands known as Heath, which surround the branching waterways of Tunk Stream and the West Branch Narraguagus River.
