About this map

West Quoddy Head marks the easternmost point of the contiguous United States, anchoring a landscape where the tidal forces of the Atlantic Ocean meet the Maine coast. This coastal survey documents the town of Lubec and its surrounding geography at the international boundary with Canada. The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial Bridge spans the Lubec Narrows, providing a vital physical link between the mainland and the nearby islands. Further south, the map details the transition from the residential center at Lubec Neck to the more open terrain near South Lubec and Wallace Cove.

Maritime history is evident in the naming of coastal landmarks such as Sail Rock, Morton Ledge, and Wormell Ledges. These features, along with Carrying Place Cove, suggest the historical importance of small-vessel navigation and traditional portage sites. Local genealogy is supported by the inclusion of the Lubec Town Cem and the residential street grids including Main ST and Washington ST, which define the historic core of the village.
