1943 Map of Castine

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Penobscot Bay and the interconnected waterways of the Bagaduce River dominate this coastal landscape as it appeared in the early 1940s. The strategic and maritime importance of the region is anchored by the historic Fort George in Castine, while the island community of Islesboro stretches through the center of the bay, featuring settlements like Dark Harbor and Pripet. The mainland coastal economy is visible through the rail lines of the Bangor and Aroostook serving Searsport Sta and the industrial activity near Stockton Harbor. This survey preserves the locations of several local educational landmarks, including Emerson Sch and Union District Sch, alongside rural religious centers like Bethany Chapel. The map documents a complex shoreline of coves and points, from Cape Jellison in the north to the many-fingered reaches of Smith Cove and Orcutt Harbor to the east.
