1949 Map of Eastport

About this map

Eastport and the surrounding islands define this intricate coastal landscape where the United States and Canada border runs through the deep waters of Friar Roads and Passamaquoddy Bay. Based on 1949 field checks, the map captures a period of active maritime and rail infrastructure, featuring the Maine Central railroad reaching into the town of Perry and terminating at the waterfront. The Pleasant Point Indian Reservation sits on the narrow neck of land between Gleason Cove and the mainland, serving as a critical cultural and geographical anchor.
