State Route 191 (SR 191) is a 61.24-mile-long (98.56 km)state highway in the US state ofMaine. Its southern terminus atSR 189 inLubec toU.S. Route 1 (US 1) andSR 9 inBaring Plantation. The route offers a bypass of the city ofCalais and access to theCutler Naval Station inCutler. The entire route is inWashington County.
The road begins at SR 189 in Lubec. The route heads south, then west, passing near Haycock Harbor, Moose Cove, Sandy Cove, and Money Cove alongMachias Bay. SR 191 then enters Cutler, providing a ferry toMachias Seal Island and passes by the Cutler Naval Station. Entering the town ofMachias, SR 191 turns north and runs along theMachias River to US 1 where it runs southwestconcurrently with it. After 0.09 miles (0.14 km) concurrent with US 1, SR 191 branches off and heads to the northeast. It then crosses a river flowing into theHadley Lake. InCathance Township (formerly Plantation No. 14), SR 191 meetsSR 86. This is SR 86's western terminus. As SR 191 continues north, it runs alongLake Cathance inMeddybemps. Notably, in Cooper, SR 191 heads due east just below the 45 degree North parallel, possibly due to concerns in the 19th century that theCanada–United States border would be set there, as it is in New York and Vermont.[citation needed] Then SR 191 branches off ofSR 214. This is SR 214's western terminus. SR 191 then runs along theMeddybemps Lake. As it enters Baring Plantation, SR 191 has its northern terminus at US 1 andSR 9.[2]
