Acadia National Park and the rugged coastline of Mount Desert Island dominate this coastal survey of the Tremont area. The map highlights the maritime-centered landscape where Bass Harbor and Bernard serve as primary landing points, connected to the outer islands by the Swans Island Fry and Bass Harbor-Frenchboro Fry. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history in the many small burial grounds dotting the shoreline, such as the Dolliver Family Burial Ground near Wonderland and the Gott Island Cem on Great Gott Island. The geography reveals a complex network of coastal ledges and points, including Bass Harbor Head and Seawall Point, defining the maritime approach to Western Way and the Cranberry Isles. The settlement pattern follows the shore, with older road networks like Richtown Rd and Bernard Rd linking established locales like Baldwin Corners.
