1942 Map of Bar Harbor

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Frenchman Bay dominates this coastal landscape, separating the busy waterfront of Bar Harbor on Mount Desert Island from the protected inlets of the Schoodic Peninsula. This survey captures the region just as wartime activities and local expansion were shaping the coast, highlighting the intricate relationship between the granite shoreline and the sea. The map detail shows the established resort culture and local fishing hubs during the mid-1940s, from the village at Sorrento to the outlying Cranberry Isles.
