2014 Map of Islesboro

About this map

Islesboro Island serves as the central focus of this coastal survey, stretching across the waters of West Penobscot Bay. The landscape is defined by its deep maritime connection, where the Islesboro-Lincolnville Fry links the island to Lincolnville on the mainland. Local history is anchored by the presence of Saturday Cove Cem near Northport and Maple Grove Cem situated in the island's interior. Small settlements like North Islesboro and Dark Harbor illustrate the historical development of these isolated communities. To the south, Seven Hundred Acre Island and the heights of Abrams Mtn rise above Gilkey Harbor. The topography reveals a complex network of coves and points, such as Saturday Cove and Sabbathday Harbor, which provided vital shelter for coastal vessels and fishing boats for generations.
