2011 Map of Harrington

About this map

Harrington and West Harrington anchor a landscape defined by the intricate tidal reaches of Washington County, where the Harrington River meets the expansive Harrington Bay. This 2011 survey records the enduring settlement patterns of the Down East coast, from the cluster of homes at Marshville to the southern point of Wyman. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, documenting several burial sites including Church Hill Cemetery and Rock Maple Cemetery along with family-named coastal features like Nash Point and Coffins Point. The transition from freshwater to marine environments is clear, as Curtis Creek and Cole Creek drain into the tidal basins. This geography fostered a legacy of maritime reliance, evident in the numerous named ledges and islands such as Muscle Shoal and the Birch Islands that dot the navigation-heavy waters of Pleasant Bay.
