A rare 1864 nautical chart of the Maine coast from Thomaston, MA to Monhegan Island,  including the St. George's River and Muscle Ridge Channel.  Offers minimal inland detail but a wealth of nautical information including countless depth sounding and notations on the many offshore shoals and other dangers in the region.  The lower right quadrant features extensive notations on tides and light houses.    The  triangulation for this chart was accomplished by G. A. Fairfield, J. A. Sullivan, F. P. Webber and C. F. Ferguson.  The topography is the work  of C. Ferguson and F. W. Door.  The hydrography was completed by a party under the command of E. Cordell, W. S. Edwards, F. P. Webber, R. El Halter and C. Fendal.  Published under the supervision of A. D. Bache for the 1864  Report of the Superintendent of the U.S. Coast Survey .
