Cutler stands as the primary coastal settlement on this 1917 survey of the Maine coastline, clustered where the Little River meets the sea. The landscape reflects a deeply indented shoreline of rocky points and coves, including Money Cove and Holmes Cove, alongside a terrain characterized by ridges and high points like Cocoa Mtn and Compass Rock. In the interior, the presence of School No 9 and the Moose River School suggests a rural population distributed along the inland ridges such as Pond Ridge and Great Ridge. The map captures a transition from maritime life to inland agriculture and timber, indicated by named tracts like Cochet Meadows, Warren Meadows, and Harmon Heath. This survey, conducted just before the close of the First World War, preserves the placement of isolated schools and family-named landmarks before modern infrastructure altered the coastal Washington County reach.
