1993 Map of Machias Bay

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Machias Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the deep waters of the Gulf of Maine meet the intricate, island-strewn shoreline of Washington County. The landscape is defined by its maritime utility and natural preserves, notably featuring the U S Naval Communication Unit with its extensive restricted zones and radio towers east of Holmes Bay. To the south, the Cross Island National Wildlife Refuge protects the rugged islands and narrows at the mouth of the bay, while landward, the topography rises sharply to Woodruff Mountain and Pettegrove Mountain. Small community anchors like the Bay Ridge Sch and Holmes Bay Ch provide a window into the local social fabric of North Cutler and Lowell during the late twentieth century. The map also meticulously charts the Tidal Flats and specialized coastal features like Sprague Neck and the Lighthouse at Avery Rock.
