2014 Map of Bartlett Island

About this map

The rocky coastline and inner islands of Blue Hill Bay Eastern Passage define this section of the Maine coast, where the boundaries of Acadia National Park intermingle with historic coastal villages. On Bartlett Island, a sequence of family burial sites such as Bartlett Island Number 2 Cem and Bartlett Island Number 5 Cem indicate a history of settlement and private ownership separate from the mainland. Shoreline communities like Pretty Marsh and Seal Cove are centers of local life, characterized by narrow roads like Tremont Rd and Pretty Marsh Rd that follow the topography of the peninsulas. Genealogists will find a high density of small family plots and community graveyards, including the Babbidge Murphy Burial Ground and Smith Graves, documenting generations of residents in the West Tremont and Center areas.
