About this map

The sheltered waters of Cutler Harbor and Little Machias Bay anchor this coastal landscape in the late 1940s. The village of Cutler serves as a focal point for maritime activity, protected by the Little River Lighthouse on Little River Island. Coastal life is evidenced by the Little Machias School and the Head of the River Church, while the interior terrain is defined by low ridges like French Ridge and significant wetlands such as Harmon Heath.

Genealogists can identify family-named settlements like Dennison and Huntley, alongside the Old Cutler Cemetery and Bay View Cemetery. The shoreline is deeply articulated with numerous coves and points, including Money Cove and Fairy Head, overlooking the Grand Manan Channel. Notable physical remnants like Ruins and a Chimney near Little River provide clues to earlier shorefront structures and habitation.
