Is there dimensional drawings of the station building in our Archives or the Township's?

folks,
         The original negs from Eastern Illustrating Post Card Company are to be found at the Penobscot Bay Marine Museum at Searsport, Maine. Very likely there are good details in that series of 3.5" X 5" photographic negatives.

I was happy to find this image of a train near Head Tide. I am not certain as to the precise location and I would be interested to know.

There seem to be two islands in the river. My guess is roughly 1000 ft north of the Head Tide Dam. Hopefully this map link works: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1CADkRMDCf9yHz9x8rhuLtGZb8aI&ll=44.11821325877251%2C-69.62958129518984&z=18

Graham, I believe you have nailed it. Thank you for the trouble that you have taken to produce such a clear map representation.

I want to clarify that it was not me that generated that Maps overlay.  I came across that link "somewhere" and saved it in 2021, but I can't say where/who generated it.

I did move the map focus point to the area of the two islands, :)

I noted a question about drawings of the Head Tide station in this thread. I have been a fan and museum member for years. I have collected most of the books on the WW&F for my model railroading hobby. I documented in a spreadsheet the locations of published drawings of railroad structures along the right of way. I attached a copy of my file for your reference.
