About this map

Cutler's shoreline on the Gulf of Maine is the focus of this late-twentieth-century study, where the land meets the massive expanse of the Grand Manan Channel. The landscape is dominated by a complex intertidal zone and rocky coastal features, notably Eastern Head and the nearby Little Moose Island. Interior drainage patterns are clearly visible through the winding Moose River and the marshes of Bog Brook, which empties into the sheltered Bog Brook Cove.

Human activity is sparse but specific to the era, documented by the presence of a Gravel Pit and the route of State Highway 191. The map details the transition from freshwater environments like Norse Pond to the saltwater inlets of Moose Cove and Sandy Cove. This survey provides an exact look at the Down East coastline before the turn of the millennium, preserving the precise location of ledge formations and creek mouths along this stretch of Washington County.
