The coastal defenses and maritime economy of Washington County are clearly visible in this 1917 survey of the Down East shoreline. Historical landmarks like Fort O'Brien overlook the Machias River, while the Cross Island L S S stands watch over the complex archipelago and dangerous narrows at the entrance to Machias Bay. The landscape is a mix of tidal flats and granite rises, where small settlements like Machiasport and Dog Town are connected by the Maine Central Railroad.
