1942 Map of Bar Harbor

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Cadillac Mtn and the coastal village of Bar Harbor anchor this study of the Maine shoreline just before the mid-century. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the granite heights of Mount Desert Island—including Flying Squadron Mtn and Pemetic Mtn—to the intricate maze of Flanders Bay and the Gouldsboro Peninsula. Local history is preserved in the placement of coastal settlements like Winter Harbor, Sorrento, and Gerrishville, alongside numerous maritime landmarks such as Stave Island and the isolated Islesford on the Cranberry Isles. The presence of Sieur de Monts Spring and the winding route of The Loop reveal early tourism and conservation footprints. This 1942 edition, based on surveys from the 1930s, captures the region's character as a network of fishing harbors and summer colonies before significant post-war development.
