Baker Island and the surrounding outer reaches of the Cranberry Isles define this coastal landscape within the modern boundaries of Acadia National Park. The map documents a maritime environment of dramatic granite ledges and isolated landmasses, including Great Duck Island and Little Duck Island. For genealogists and local historians, the Baker Island Cem stands as a significant point of interest on its eponymous island, representing the generations that once made a living from these offshore outposts. The southern portion of Great Cranberry Island is also visible, showing topographic features like Dolly Hill and Bunker Head. The intricate shoreline is marked by numerous hazards and landmarks for navigation, such as Mackerel Ledges, Southwest Rocks, and the descriptive The Thumper.
