1942 Map of Deer Isle

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Stonington serves as the hub of this coastal survey, where a dense network of Quarries along the southern shoreline of Deer Isle points to the area's prominent granite industry during the early 1940s. The archipelago is defined by the navigable waters of Eggemoggin Reach to the north and the complex island passage of Merchant Row to the south. Small coastal villages such as Sunset, Sunshine, and Oceanville are connected by State Route 15, while interior landmarks like Holt Pond and Barredland Pond provide fresh water resources away from the salt spray. Further south, the isolated settlement of Isle au Haut sits amidst a cluster of smaller islands, including Harbor I and Wheat I, showing the intricate maritime geography of the Penobscot Bay region. This survey records the landscape before mid-century modernization, preserving the locations of family-named points like Conary Head and Greenlaw Neck.
