2011 Map of Bar Harbor

About this map

The coastal village of Bar Harbor serves as the gateway to the eastern reaches of Acadia National Park, where the rugged Maine shoreline meets the waters of Frenchman Bay. This early 21st-century record highlights the region's maritime character, tracing the Bar Harbor - Yarmouth ferry route and local nautical infrastructure like the Fisherman's Landing and Sorrento Town Wharf. The terrain is defined by a dense archipelago of named landforms, including The Porcupines and Stave Island, which protect the inner harbors from the open Atlantic. Inland, the map documents historical local landmarks such as the Meeting House and several family burying grounds, including Bragdon Cemetery and Hall Cemetery. From the settlements of Sorrento and Hancock Point in the north to the mountain-ringed basins of Eagle Lake and Witch Hole Pond in the south, the landscape reflects a balance between a working maritime economy and protected wilderness.
