1918 Map of Cutler

About this map

Cutler village sits at the heart of this Downeast Maine coastal survey, centered on the sheltered waters of the Little River. The landscape is dominated by high coastal ridges and granite points, with Pond Ridge and Great Ridge providing a backdrop to the maritime activity along the Grand Manan Channel. Notable for genealogists are the locations of School No 2 and the Moose River School, which served the scattered farming and fishing families during the early twentieth century. The map details a complex shoreline of coves and heads, from the lighthouse-guarded Little River I to the remote Machias Seal I and North Rock far offshore. Inland, the terrain is characterized by numerous heaths and small ponds like Norse Pond and Ackley Pond, drained by a network of brooks such as Bother Brook and Bagley Bk, illustrating the traditional New England balance of seafaring and rugged upland agriculture.
