About this map

Boothbay Harbor serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the intricate geography of the Midcoast region is revealed through its complex network of islands and tidal inlets. The landscape is defined by long, north-south oriented peninsulas and protected harbors, including Southport and the smaller settlements of Newagen and Five Islands. The maritime character is evidenced by numerous navigational markers, most notably Lighthouse The Cuckolds guarding the southern approaches of the Sheepscot Bay.

Moving west across the Sheepscot River, the map details the shores of Westport Island and the marshes of Reid State Park. Local history is preserved in small family plots and community landmarks, such as Wilson Cem near the tip of the peninsula and the Wiley Cem to the north. The survey also captures the seasonal and residential layout of smaller landmasses like the Isle of Springs and MacMahan Island, illustrating the enduring coastal settlement patterns of Lincoln and Sagadahoc counties.
