1949 Map of Lubec

About this map

Lubec occupies the narrow neck of land where the United States meets Canada, serving as a critical maritime gateway at the easternmost edge of the nation. This survey illustrates the intricate relationship between the Maine mainland and Campobello Island, separated by the strategically important Lubec Channel. The coastal infrastructure is well-defined, featuring the U S Coast Guard Sta No 1 and a Lookout Tower near the iconic Quoddy Head. Beyond the primary settlements of the town and South Lubec, the map details a landscape of tide-swept ledges and points, including Mowry Pt and Mulholland Pt. The terrain ranges from the Abrahams Plains on the island to the protected acres of Quoddy Head State Park, all positioned against the powerful tides of the Bay of Fundy and the Grand Manan Channel.
