2021 Map of Bartlett Island

About this map

Bartlett Island and the western edge of Mount Desert Island anchor this coastal survey, where the rugged shoreline is defined by narrow passages like Bartlett Narrows and the waters of Blue Hill Bay. The landscape is a mosaic of conservation land and small coastal settlements, with sections of Acadia National Park protecting the higher ground of Bernard Mtn and Bald Mtn. For local historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites, including family-named locations such as Smith Graves, Pray Cem, and the Babbidge Murphy Burial Ground. These small, scattered cemeteries reflect the deep-rooted settlement patterns of Pretty Marsh and Seal Cove, where roads like Pretty Marsh Rd and Tremont Rd connect established communities with the surrounding timber and coastal landscape.
