2021 Map of Bristol

About this map

The Narrows and the Damariscotta River dominate this coastal landscape, where the irregular Maine shoreline creates a complex system of coves and islands. The village of Bristol and the surrounding area are marked by numerous small family and community burial grounds, including the McFarland - Erskine Family Cem and the Stephen Bryer Farm Cem, offering significant detail for local genealogical study. The geography is characterized by prominent points such as Fitch Point and Wentworth Point, which define the many sheltered waters like Seal Cove and Mears Cove. Land use patterns show a mix of coastal settlements like New Harbor and Pemaquid Beach alongside interior landmarks such as Mt Hunger and Haggett Hill. The road network, including Booth Bay Rd and River Rd, follows the north-south orientation of the peninsulas, connecting isolated points and historically significant sites like the Old Fort Cem.
