1929 Map of Robbinston

About this map

St Croix River and Passamaquoddy Bay define this borderland landscape, where the international boundary between Maine and New Brunswick runs through the tidal waters. The topography reflects a maritime economy and rural settlement pattern centered on the coastal villages of Robbinston and Red Beach. Historically significant Saint Croix Island sits in the river channel, while the mainland is dotted with landmarks of early community life, including the Robbinston Ridge Ch and several local schools like the South Robbinston Sch and Shore Sch. Inland, a complex network of freshwater bodies such as Nashs Lake, Boyden Lake, and the Gurrewock Lakes drain through Western Stream and Eastern Stream toward the coast. The Maine Central RR skirts the shoreline, connecting these port towns to the larger regional rail network while passing numerous coves and points like Brooks Cove and Devils Head.
