About this map

The international border between Maine and New Brunswick bisects the St Croix River and Passamaquoddy Bay on this mid-century coastal survey. On the Canadian side, the developed town of St Andrews dominates the peninsula, supported by the Canadian Pacific railroad and distinctive landmarks like the Biological Station and a local water tower. Across the water in Washington County, the village of Robbinston serves as a primary port of entry, featuring the U S Customs office and the small Brewer Cemetery.

Moving south into Perry, the landscape transitions from the rugged coastline at Brooks Bluff and Lewis Cove to a scattered rural settlement pattern. This area includes the Shore School and the Back District Church, representing the community foundations of the late 1940s. The maritime character of the region is evident in the detailed soundings and coastal features such as Minister Island and the tidal crossing of Bar Road.
