About this map

The coastal borderlands of Eastport and Lubec define this mid-1980s planimetric study of the easternmost reaches of the United States. Situated at the edge of the Grand Manan Channel, the map illustrates the complex maritime geography of the area, including the international boundary between New Brunswick and Maine. The map highlights the rugged coastline of West Quoddy Head, where Quoddy Head State Park and a prominent Lighthouse mark the easternmost point of the contiguous U.S.

Waterways like the Lubec Narrows and Johnson Bay separate the mainland from islands such as Treat Island and Dudley Island, reflecting the area's historical reliance on seafaring and fishing. Notable coastal landmarks such as Todd Head, Buckman Head, and Estes Head provide orientation for those researching the maritime history and traditional settlements of Washington County near the Canadian border at Charlotte and Washington Counties.
