About this map

Federal Harbor and the Grand Manan Channel define this coastal landscape on the Maine-New Brunswick border, where the rocky shoreline is carved into numerous points and necks. The map documents the mid-century settlement patterns of Lubec and Trescott, centered around rural hubs like West Lubec and North Lubec. Inland, the terrain is a mix of high ground like No 9 Hill and expansive wetlands labeled simply as Heath, reflecting the area's peatland geography.

Local landmarks such as the Wilcox Sch, the Baptist church, and the West Lubec Cem offer specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing family roots in Washington County. The presence of the Lubec Airport and a Standpipe near Lubec Neck illustrates the infrastructure supporting these maritime communities during the late 1940s, while coastal features like Baileys Mistake hint at the area's long seafaring history.
