About this map

Eastport and the surrounding maritime landscape of Washington County are defined by the complex waterways where the Quoddy River meets the Bay of Fundy. This mid-1980s topographic survey illustrates the tight geographical relationship between Maine and New Brunswick, showing the international boundary threading through the Grand Manan Channel and Lubec Channel. Notable coastal landmarks such as Buckman Head, Todd Head, and the Lighthouse at Quoddy Head State Park provide essential navigation points for the region's seafaring history.

Further out in the bay, the map details the significant landmasses of Grand Manan Island and Campobello Island, alongside smaller features like The Wolves and Murr Ledges. The settlement patterns at Lubec and South Lubec reflect the coastal orientation of the local economy. The transition from the Maine coastline to the North Mountain Range on the Canadian side underscores the diverse geological character of this borderland region.
