1985 Map of Machias

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Maine Central railroad corridor and a complex network of coastal rivers define the Downeast landscape of Washington County in the mid-1980s. From the shire town of Machias, the map traces a jagged shoreline punctuated by Machias Bay and Englishman Bay, where centuries-old fishing and maritime traditions persist in settlements like Jonesport, Beals, and Machiasport. The transition from the rugged Atlantic coast to the inland blueberry barrens and timberlands is marked by expansive features such as The Heath and The Barrens.
