About this map

Acadia National Park dominates the western coastline of this survey, where the granite peaks and glacial ponds of Mount Desert Island meet the waters of Frenchman Bay. The town of Bar Harbor serves as a hub for the region, showing a dense network of streets like Eden St and Prospect Ave alongside cultural landmarks such as the Coll of the Atlantic. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including Ledgelawn Cem and the Meeting House Cem, which document the long-standing community presence on the island.

Across the water, the peninsula of Crabtree Neck and the small coastal village of Sorrento illustrate the seafaring character of the Hancock County shoreline. The bay is punctuated by a chain of islands known as The Porcupines, while larger landmasses like Ironbound Island and Stave Island stand as prominent features of the coastal geography. Smaller family-named landmarks like McNeil Point and Schieffelin Point reflect the local history and private landholdings that have shaped this maritime landscape.
