1973 Map of Cape Rosier

About this map

Harborside and the surrounding coastline of the Cape Rosier peninsula are defined by a maritime economy and rugged geography in this mid-1970s survey. The landscape of Brooksville is marked by granite-based industry, with a visible Quarry and Tailings Pond located near the shore of Goose Pond. Coastal life is centered around deep-water access and sheltered anchorages like Horseshoe Cove and Orcutt Harbor, while local history is preserved at sites like Evergreen Cem and Bayview Cem in nearby Pripet. The peninsula’s interior rises to significant heights at Backwood Mtn and John B Mtn, overlooking the expansive waters of Eggemoggin Reach. These topographic details illustrate the intersection of traditional seafaring life and the quarrying operations that once shaped the local economy.
