About this map

The St Croix River serves as the international boundary on this survey, separating the shores of Robbinston and Perry, Maine, from St Andrews, New Brunswick. On the Canadian side, the Canadian Pacific railway skirts the coastline, serving the developed grid of St Andrews and the Biological Station near Chamcook Hills. Significant maritime infrastructure is visible across Passamaquoddy Bay, including the North Point Light and Tongue Shoal Lighthouse.

The American shoreline from Hinton Point down to North Perry is dotted with family-named landmarks like Brooks Bluff and Lewis Cove. Local civic life in Washington County is anchored by the Back District Ch, Shore Sch, and the Brewer Cem. The transition from the inland Chamcook Hills to the tidal flats of Western Gut and Kitty Cove illustrates the maritime-dependent economy of these border settlements during the mid-century.
