2011 Map of Deer Isle

About this map

Stonington and the village of Deer Isle anchor this coastal landscape, illustrating the enduring relationship between the community and the Atlantic Ocean. The map shows a highly indented coastline characterized by numerous points and ledges, such as Dunham Point and Salmon Point, and an array of named islands including Sheephead Island and Andrew Island. Settlement patterns are concentrated along local arteries like Sunshine Rd and Oceanville Rd, connecting small communities such as Sunset, Mountainville, and West Stonington. Local infrastructure is evident through the Stonington Municipal Airport and the Lily Pond Dam. For genealogists, several local burial grounds are documented, including Mount Adams Cemetery and Forest Cemetery. The geographic complexity of the Deer Island Thorofare reveals a navigable but challenging maritime environment, while inland bodies like Holt Pond and Georges Pond provide a contrast to the surrounding salt water.
