1970 Map of Boothbay Harbor

About this map

Boothbay Harbor stands as the primary maritime center on this coastal survey, where the town's dense development contrasts with the surrounding network of islands and interconnected tidal waters. The intricate geography of the Sheepscot River and Townsend Gut defines the local navigation, linking the mainland to Southport Island and the smaller, seasonal communities of Newagen and West Southport. Along the western shoreline, the extensive shoreline of Georgetown is dominated by the protected lands of Reid State Park, stretching from Harmon Harbor down to the surf at Outer Head.
