About this map

North Lubec and the surrounding coastline of Washington County define this maritime landscape, where the tides of the Grand Manan Channel meet a complex network of coves and necks. The area is characterized by traditional settlement patterns centered around West Lubec and the smaller community of South Trescott. Geographic features with storied names like Baileys Mistake and The Crows Nest suggest a long history of coastal navigation and local lore.

Tracing the inland terrain reveals a series of prominent elevations, including Christmas Tree Mtn and Number Nine Hill, while the local infrastructure is anchored by the Lubec Municipal Airport. Genealogists may find particular value in the location of the West Lubec Split Hill Cem, situated near the intersection of Tideway Ln and the road to Ridge. The map also preserves the paths of numerous family-named routes, such as Lyons Rd and Doherty Ln, which offer clues to the land ownership and rural development of this Down East region.
