About this map

Monsapec and West Jonesport anchor this coastal Maine landscape, where the sea deeply penetrates the land through complex tidal networks like Mason Bay and Chandler Bay. The settlement patterns here are defined by the water, with the town of Beals positioned across Moosabec Reach, connected to the mainland by the Beals Island Bridge. This maritime economy is evident in the numerous small coves and harbors, including Sawyer Cove and Beals Harbor, which have long served the local fishing and seafaring communities.

Further offshore, the map reveals the intricate geography of the archipelago, featuring the large Roque Island with its prominent Great Beach and the cluster of the Great Spruce Islands. Inland, the terrain rises toward Gay Hill and Ikes Hill, though much of the activity remains oriented toward the shore along roads like Mason Bay Rd and Kelley Point Rd. For those tracing local heritage, the Greenwood Cem near Little Pond Beach provides a specific point of genealogical interest within this island-studded environment.
