About this map

Louds Island and the neighboring coastal reaches of Bristol define this maritime landscape along Muscongus Bay. Centered on the settlement of Loudville, the island maintains its distinct historical identity away from the mainland, supported by the Loudville Cem near Marsh Harbor. On the mainland, the village of Round Pond sits at the head of its namesake harbor, a well-protected inlet that has long served as a focal point for local navigation.

Further south, the settlements of Chamberlain and New Harbor mark the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, where the terrain transitions from inland ponds like Biscay Pond and Boyd Pond to a complex network of ledges and small islands. Notable landmarks such as Ruby Airport and Ocean Hill Cem are situated among the winding coastal roads, including Me-32 and Muscongus Point Rd, illustrating the intersection of modern transport and early coastal settlement patterns.
