2021 Map of Islesboro

About this map

West Penobscot Bay defines the center of this coastal study, where the waters separate the mainland towns of Lincolnville and Northport from the long reach of Islesboro Island. The mainland terrain is marked by significant elevations such as Knowlton Hill and Beech Hill, while the island chain to the east includes Seven Hundred Acre Island and Warren Island. Navigation and transport are central to the area's identity, evidenced by the Margaret Chase Smith Ferry route connecting the mainland to Grindel Point. Local heritage is anchored in several established villages and settlements, including Dark Harbor, Temple Heights, and North Islesboro. Genealogists will find interest in several documented burial grounds like Saturday Cove Cem and Beech Ridge Cem, while the Islesboro Airport provides a modern link to this seafaring landscape.
