1949 Map of Devils Head

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The St Croix River defines this international border landscape, where the tides of Oak Bay meet the rugged Maine and New Brunswick shorelines. This 1940s-era topography, derived from 1946 aerial photography and older hydrographic surveys, highlights the maritime and industrial heritage of the region. Notable landmarks like Whitlocks Mill and The Ledge sit along the winding riverbank, while the presence of Cribbing Ruins and a Mark Lighthouse near Plaister Pt indicate a history of river navigation and timber or lime processing. To the south, the protected lands of the Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge surround Nashs Lake and Vose Pond, contrasting with the Canadian Pacific rail line that skirts the northern marshes. Family-named points like Eaton Pt and Pettegrove Pt suggest long-established maritime holdings along the estuary.
