About this map

The maritime borderlands between Maine and New Brunswick are defined here by a dense archipelago and deep tidal waters. Eastport, America’s easternmost city, occupies most of Moose Island, connected to the mainland via the Maine Central railroad and Maine 190 corridors crossing Carlow Island. North of the city, the Pleasant Point Indian Reservation sits on a narrow peninsula overlooking the Western Passage.

The landscape is shaped by long-standing coastal infrastructure, including the Eastport Airport and defensive markers like Redoubt Hill. Across the international boundary, the Canadian shoreline of Deer Island and Campobello Island reveals small harbor settlements such as Leonardville and Welshpool. Topographic detail on the Maine side highlights rural landmarks like the Hibbard Sch and Central Ch, illustrating the distribution of the population in Perry and Pembroke during the late 1940s.
