1950 Map of Cross Island

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Cross Island dominates this 1950 coastal survey, serving as a maritime anchor in the outer Machias Bay where the Gulf of Maine meets the open Atlantic Ocean. The topography reveals a landscape shaped by the sea, featuring the Cross Island Coast Guard Sta and a prominent Tower on the eastern heights. This era represents a significant period of coastal monitoring, with the island's strategic harbors—Northwest Harbor and Northeast Harbor—providing essential shelter for vessels navigating the rocky Washington County shoreline.
