About this map

West Quoddy Head anchors the easternmost edge of this coastal survey, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the treacherous waters of the Quoddy Narrows. The international boundary with Canada cuts through the Grand Manan Channel, illustrating the close proximity of the two nations at this maritime crossroads. On Lubec Neck, the settlement of Lubec sits overlooking the Lubec Channel, connected to its northern neighbors by the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial Bridge.

Maritime history is etched into the shoreline at Carrying Place Cove and Wallace Cove, while the interior of the peninsula features the Lubec Town Cem and isolated water bodies like Lily Pond and Lake Glensevern. The rugged coastline is defined by distinctive landmarks such as Sail Rock, Wormell Ledges, and Morton Ledge, which have long served as navigational markers for vessels entering Johnson Bay.
