About this map

The town of Freeport and its historic coastal landings anchor this survey of the northern reaches of Casco Bay. The landscape is defined by the intricate finger-like peninsulas of Wolf Neck and Flying Point Neck, which reach into the waters of Marquoit Bay and Middle Bay. This coastal geography supported a maritime economy evidenced by Strouts Point Wharf, the Strouts Point Marina, and the Freeport Town Dock and Landing near South Freeport.

Inland, the map reveals a history of early settlement and agriculture. The Pettengill Farm Museum sits near the salt marshes of Frost Gully Brook, while numerous family and community burial grounds, including Burr Cemetery, Woodlawn Cemetery, and Wolf Neck Cemetery, are distributed across the terrain. From the heights of Pleasant Hill and Torrey Hill down to the tidal waters surrounding Bartol Island and Googins Island, the map documents a community where the granite-ledged coast and traditional farmsteads meet.
