About this map

Camden and Rockport define this coastal landscape where the Penobscot Bay shoreline meets the rising elevations of Mt Megunticook and Mt Battle. The terrain transitions from the rocky hazards of West Penobscot Bay, including Dillingham Ledge and Moxy Reef, to the developed centers of these historic Midcoast villages. The map details the dense residential and commercial corridors connecting Lake City in the north to the northern reaches of Rockland in the south, following the path of the Goose River and the shore at Glen Cove.

Genealogists can identify several significant burial grounds, such as Mountain View Cem and the hillside Oak Hill Cem. The shoreline is heavily marked by maritime and recreational features, from the Tannery Lane Footbridge in the heart of town to the protected waters of Camden Harbor and Sherman Cove. Landforms like Fernalds Neck and Beauchamp Point illustrate the deeply indented nature of the Maine coast in this era of modern development.
