2018 Map of Bailey Island

About this map

Bailey Island anchors this coastal Maine survey, showcasing its distinct island geography at the northern edge of Casco Bay. The settlement pattern follows the narrow spine of the land, with local roads like W Shore Rd and Pasture Rd providing access to historical harbor points. A notable landmark is the Bailey Island Cobwork Bridge, which connects the island to the neighboring landmass across Wills Gut. The surrounding waters of Merriconeag Sound are punctuated by a dense network of hazards and landmarks including Pond Island, Ragged Island, and numerous ledges like Blacksnake Ledge and Charity Ledge. This maritime landscape, documented in the early 21st century, reflects the enduring seafaring character of Harpswell, with Mackerel Cove serving as a primary maritime focal point near the Bailey Island Cem.
