1949 Map of West Lubec

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The intricate coastal anatomy of Washington County is documented here at the midpoint of the twentieth century, focusing on the peninsula and island systems between Straight Bay and the Grand Manan Channel. The landscape is defined by the narrow necks of land, such as Denbow Neck and Seward Neck, which frame sheltered waters like Federal Harbor and South Bay. This era shows a rural maritime economy transitioning, with the Lubec Airport established on the high ground of Lubec and small community centers like West Lubec serving the interior roads. Local educational and spiritual life is anchored by the Wilcox Sch and the Baptist Ch. Extensive mudflats and rocky ledges, including Baileys Ledge and the curiously named Baileys Mistake, highlight the navigational complexity that has long shaped this corner of Maine.
