1983 Map of Baker Island

About this map

Baker Island and its surrounding archipelago define this maritime survey of the Cranberry Isles and Frenchboro waters. The map details the transition between land and the Atlantic Ocean, featuring the southern tip of Cranberry Island with its prominent Bunker Head and the inlet known as The Pool. Family history is anchored at the Gilley Cem on Baker Island, which also contains a portion of Acadia National Park and a lighthouse. Further south, the remote Great Duck Island is shown with its own Landing Strip and maritime infrastructure. The intricate coastline includes features like Deadman Point and the submerged Baker Island Bar, providing a snapshot of the Maine coast's navigational hazards and isolated island settlements during the early 1980s.
