About this map

Maine Central Railroad tracks cut a horizontal line through this coastal landscape, connecting inland timber and granite resources to the sea. The surveyed area reveals a complex network of waterways, from the Machias River in the northeast to the Pleasant River in the west, defining the boundaries of maritime townships like Addison and Jonesport. These coastal communities are deeply integrated with the seafaring life of Englishman Bay and Moosabec Reach, where islands such as Roque Island and Great Wass Island shelter many harbors.

Inland, the terrain is marked by significant natural features like the Mast Heath and elevations such as Milton Mtn, while small social centers are noted through numerous rural schools. Landmarks like the White School, Batson School, and Monsapec School serve as waypoints for local genealogy, alongside named corners like Tracy Corners and Bryant Corners that reveal the 1920s-era settlement pattern of Washington County.
