1904 Map of Deer Isle

USGS Topo · Published 1912

About this map

The coastal village of Stonington serves as the focal point for this Maine maritime landscape, which captures the granite-working and seafaring economy of the early twentieth century. Across the archipelago, the Steamboat Route winds through Eggemoggin Reach and Merchant Confines, connecting remote island outposts like Isle au Haut to the mainland. The intricate network of tidal basins, including Lily Pond and Fish Creek, underscores a landscape shaped by both glaciation and the sea. The map documents the specific locations of late-nineteenth-century settlements like The Haulover, Mountainville, and Oceanville, along with maritime navigational aids like the Deer I. Thorofare L.H.. Unique local identifiers such as The Seal Trap near Moore Harbor provide a rare glimpse into the vernacular geography used by local fishermen and mariners of the era.
