1949 Map of Machias

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Machias River and East Machias River converge at Machias Bay, defining a landscape where maritime access and early inland rail transportation met. This mid-century coastal survey documents the town of Machias, the seat of education at the Washington State Normal School, and the industrial pulse of the Maine Central Railroad which served the lumber and shipping interests of the region. The map reveals a complex shoreline of mud flats and coves, from Shipyard Cove to the deep waters of Little Kennebec Bay.
