1993 Map of Old Man

About this map

Cross Island National Wildlife Refuge reaches into the northernmost reaches of this maritime sheet, capturing a small but significant island outpost within Cutler Twp. The landscape is dominated by the meeting of the Gulf of Maine and the Grand Manan Channel, a critical waterway for coastal navigation. Named hazards and landmarks like Flowers Rock and the islet known as Old Man are the primary terrestrial features in an area otherwise defined by the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. This 1993 field check preserves the exact boundary of the refuge and the navigational points used by Washington County mariners during the late twentieth century, showing the remote character of the Maine coast before more modern digital updates.
