1904 Map of Castine

USGS Topo · Published 1928

About this map

Penobscot River and the upper reaches of Penobscot Bay define this maritime landscape at the turn of the century. The map centers on the strategic peninsula of Castine, showing the concentrated settlement and waterfront adjacent to Castine Harbor. This era was defined by the steamboat route that navigated the intricate passages between Sears Island, Cape Jellison, and the large islands of North Islesboro and Islesboro. Along the western shore, the seasonal and religious heritage of the region is evident at the Northport Camp Ground and Temple Heights. The importance of small-scale coastal industry and local transport is marked by features like Limekiln Landing and numerous family-named coves and points, such as Patterson Pt. and Coombs Pt., which provide critical landmarks for genealogists tracking nineteenth-century coastal Maine residents.
