1982 Map of Bar Harbor

About this map

Acadia National Park dominates the southern landscape of this coastal survey, where the rugged shores of Mount Desert meet the deep waters of Frenchman Bay. The town of Bar Harbor serves as a focal point for maritime activity, featuring the Bar Harbor-Yarmouth, N.S. Ferry terminal and the College of the Atlantic. The map captures a complex archipelago of islands including Sheep Porcupine Island, Bald Porcupine Island, and the larger Ironbound Island, which shelters the waters of Winter Harbor. To the north, the smaller settlements of Sorrento and Sullivan overlook Sullivan Harbor, connected by a landscape of necks and points such as Crabtree Neck. This record detail is particularly useful for locating local landmarks like the Holy Redeemer Ch and identifying topographical features such as Witch Hole Pond and the aptly named The Graveyard off the coast of Ironbound.
