About this map

West Lubec and the surrounding coastline of Washington County are defined by a complex network of inlets and islands where the land meets the Grand Manan Channel. This coastal landscape features prominent elevations like Christmas Tree Mtn and Porcupine Mtn, which overlook a series of deeply recessed coves and harbors such as Baileys Mistake and Federal Harbor. The settlement pattern follows the established road network, with clusters of activity at North Lubec and along Ridge.

Transport and community infrastructure are centered around the Lubec Municipal Airport and local landmarks like the W Lubec Cem. The map illustrates the maritime character of the region, where numerous named points and necks, including Seward Neck and Denbow Neck, frame the Long Island Passage. Smaller water bodies like Lily Lake and the winding Wiggins Brook provide inland drainage through the wooded hills, reflecting the traditional rural and coastal character of this easternmost portion of Maine.
