2018 Map of Boothbay Harbor

About this map

West Boothbay Harbor and the surrounding islands of the Sheepscot River estuary define this coastal landscape, where the seafaring history of Lincoln Co and Sagadahoc Co meets the modern shoreline. The intricate network of tidal waters includes Ebenecook Harbor, Five Islands Harbor, and Robinhood Cove, which separate the rugged landmasses of Georgetown Island and Westport Island. For genealogists, the map is remarkably detailed with family-named burial grounds, such as the Stephen Jewett Cem, Nelson Blake Cem, and the Harriman Mitchell Stacy Cem. These small cemeteries are found throughout the region, from the northern tip of Westport Island down to the southern reaches of Newagen. The maritime character of the area is further evidenced by landmarks like the Hendricks Head lighthouse and the numerous ledges and islands, including MacMahan Island and the Cuckolds, which have shaped local navigation for generations.
