About this map

Friendship and the neighboring coastal settlements of Pleasant Point and Port Clyde define this mid-coast Maine landscape where the Meduncook River and Saint George River meet the Atlantic Ocean. The map reveals a deeply indented shoreline shaped by tidal coves such as Hatchet Cove and Hornbarn Cove, interspersed with historical burial grounds including Harbor Cem and Village Cem. This 2014 survey captures the coastal community structure just before the middle of the decade, showing the intricate network of local roads like Davis Point Rd and Cushing Rd that connect isolated points of land.

Maritime navigation and local history are closely linked here, evidenced by the numerous named ledges and islands like Friendship Long Island, Crotch Island, and Hupper Island. The presence of the Monhegan Boat Line Fry departing from Port Clyde Harbor highlights the area's ongoing role as a vital maritime link. Researchers can trace family-named landmarks such as Hathorne Point and Jameson Point, which mark the fingers of land extending into Muscongus Bay.
