1973 Map of Islesboro

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

West Penobscot Bay separates the mainland community of Northport from the linear expanse of Islesboro in this coastal 1970s survey. The island landscape is defined by its maritime connections, anchored by the Islesboro Ferry and the Islesboro Municipal Airport. Evidence of early settlement and local genealogy is found at the Saturday Cove Cem on the mainland and numerous small family-named landmarks like Pendleton Abrams Mtn and Mt Percival across the water. The intricate shoreline of Gilkey Harbor and Sabbathday Harbor reveals a world of tidal flats and points, from Gooseberry Pt to the secluded enclave of Dark Harbor. In the northwest, the Durham State Forest provides a contrast to the coastal developments of Temple Heights and the working gravel pits that supported the region's mid-century infrastructure.
