About this map

The Downeast shoreline of Washington County is defined by its deep maritime indentations and high coastal ridges in this 1917 survey. The settlement of Cutler sits at the head of a sheltered harbor protected by Western Head and the islands of Little River I, serving as a focal point for the local fishing and seafaring community. Inland, the landscape is a complex network of wetlands and modest peaks, including Harmon Heath, Cocker Meadows, and Cocoa Mtn.

Education and rural life are marked by the presence of Moose River School and School No 2, situated along the winding roads that connect the isolated farmsteads of Trescott and Whiting. The map captures the significant maritime navigational hazards of the Grand Manan Channel, noting offshore features such as the North Rock and the remote Machias Seal I. These landmarks, along with the numerous coves like Money Cove and Bog Brook Cove, illustrate the rugged intersection of Maine's granite coast and the Atlantic.
