Cross Island dominates this maritime survey of the outer reaches of Machias Bay, where the coastline of Washington County meets the open Atlantic Ocean. The island's complex shoreline is defined by protected coves and harbors, including Northeast Harbor and Northwest Harbor, which provided refuge for coastal mariners. Significant named landmarks like Quaker Head, Northwest Head, and Cross Island Head mark the perimeter of this landmass, while smaller outcroppings such as Scotch Island and the Double Head Shot Islands sit just offshore.
