About this map

The St Croix River defines the international boundary between Maine and New Brunswick in this 1929 survey, revealing a landscape where coastal settlements like Robbinston and Red Beach thrived on the shoreline of Passamaquoddy Bay. The interior is characterized by a dense network of freshwater bodies, including the Gurrewock Lakes and Nashs Lake, which drain through systems like Western Stream toward the coast.

Social and industrial infrastructure is well-documented, from the Maine Central railroad tracks skirting the southern reach at North Perry to the numerous local schools and houses of worship that anchored these rural communities. Notable landmarks for local historians include the Robbinston Ridge Ch and several one-room schoolhouses, such as South Robbinston Sch and Lake Sch. The topography highlights significant elevations like Devils Head and Trimble Mtn, overlooking the many coves and points that punctuate the maritime border.
