About this map

Acadia National Park dominates the Mount Desert Island landscape in this early 1940s survey, showing the complex interaction between its granite peaks and the coastal villages of Bar Harbor and Seal Harbor. The map captures a maritime economy defined by dozens of coves and harbors, from the protected waters of Sorrento Harbor and Flanders Bay to the exposed reaches of Prospect Harbor. The intricate archipelago of Frenchman Bay is visible in remarkable detail, including Long Porcupine I and the isolated Stave Island.
