1983 Map of Baker Island

About this map

Great Cranberry Island and its smaller neighbors define this maritime survey of the Cranberry Isles and Frenchboro waters. The landscape is dominated by the rocky outcroppings and low hills of the outer islands, including Dolly Hill and Bunker Head. On Baker Island, which falls within Acadia National Park, a Lighthouse and the Gilley Cem stand as significant cultural markers of long-term coastal habitation. To the south, Great Duck Island is shown with its isolated Landing Strip and navigational beacon, reflecting the necessity of air and sea coordination in this remote part of the Atlantic Ocean. The detailed bathymetry surrounding Baker Island Bar and The Pool illustrates the treacherous shallow passages that have historically challenged local mariners navigating between these exposed landmasses.
