1949 Map of Lubec

About this map

Lubec stands at the easternmost edge of the United States, a coastal community defined by its proximity to the international boundary and the powerful tides of the Bay of Fundy. This mid-century survey captures the intricate maritime landscape where Lubec Channel separates the mainland from Campobello Island in New Brunswick, Canada. The map illustrates a region deeply connected to the sea, featuring the U S Coast Guard Sta No 1 and the Mulholland Pt Lighthouse (C) guarding the narrow passages. On the American side, the peninsula extends to West Quoddy Head, home to Quoddy Head State Park and landmark features like Sail Rock. The terrain varies from the developed streets of the town center to the rocky reaches of Lubec Neck and the expansive Abrahams Plains across the water, reflecting an era of active coastal navigation and cross-border geography.
