About this map

The Midcoast region of Maine unfolds across this mid-1980s topographic record, detailing the complex network of tidal rivers and jagged peninsulas that define the landscape from Casco Bay to Penobscot Bay. Significant maritime and educational landmarks are prominent, including the historic campus of Bowdoin College in Brunswick and the Maine Maritime Museum located in the shipbuilding center of Bath. The map illustrates the era's infrastructure with the Brunswick Naval Air Station and the tracks of the Maine Central Railroad serving the coastal towns.

Along the rugged coastline, several navigational aids are noted, such as the Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, Monhegan Island Lighthouse, and Marshall Point Lighthouse. Smaller settlements and summer enclaves like Christmas Cove, New Harbor, and Port Clyde are mapped alongside natural features like the Androscoggin River and Merrymeeting Bay. The inclusion of Reid State Park and various islands like Monhegan Island and Seguin Island highlights the region's long-standing character as both a working waterfront and a destination for coastal recreation.
