1942 Map of Columbia Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Coastal Washington County is defined here by its intricate shoreline where the Pleasant River, Chandler River, and Machias River meet the Atlantic Ocean. This 1941 revision by the Work Projects Administration and the Corps of Engineers shows the region's mid-century maritime and inland character, anchored by the town of Columbia Falls and the fishing community of Jonesport. The Maine Central RR cuts across the landscape, connecting Jonesboro Sta and Whitneyville to the wider rail network. Local education is mapped through small rural buildings such as Upper Eastside Sch, Basin Sch, and Monsonpee Sch. Along the rugged coast, the map identifies family-named points and coves, including Peasley Corners and Bryant Corners, as well as the isolated islands of Beals and Roque Island, accessed through the Moosabec Reach. Inland, the terrain rises toward Milton Mtn and Staple Ridge, overlooking the Big Falls Dam on the Machias River.
