About this map

Cape Rosier extends into the waters of East Penobscot Bay, defining a landscape of rocky points and tidal inlets in the early 1970s. The settlement at Harborside and the industrial footprint of a Quarry near Goose Falls reveal a coastline shaped by both local industry and maritime proximity. On the eastern shore, family-named landmarks like John B Mtn and Charles Howard Pt rise above the complex shoreline of Orcutt Harbor.

Across the deep channel of Egge Moggin Reach, the survey tracks numerous islands and navigational hazards such as Fiddle Head on Hog Island and the Black Ledges. To the west, the eastern edge of Islesboro Island is visible, featuring the small community of Pripet and the Bayview Cem. This map records the essential geography of the Brooksville area before later coastal development altered the character of these historic seafaring peninsulas.
