About this map

Acadia National Park dominates the western coastline of this coastal Maine survey, where the granite ridges of Coombs Mtn and Jerusalem Mtn overlook the Atlantic. The village of Isle Au Haut serves as the primary settlement on the island, connected by the Main Rd to the southern reaches of Head Harbor. The island's interior is defined by freshwater features like Long Pond and Pats Brook, while the rugged shoreline is carved by numerous inlets including Richs Cove and Dodges Cove.

Beyond the main island, the map details a complex archipelago within Jericho Bay and Merchant Row. Significant offshore landmasses like Marshall Island and McGlathery Island are surrounded by a dense network of navigational hazards, from Colby Ledge to Blue Hill Rock. This maritime environment is further characterized by narrow passages such as Pell Island Passage and Burnt Island Thorofare, which historically facilitated the movement of local fishing and transport vessels through the thoroughfares.
