About this map

Louds Island and the surrounding waters of Muscongus Bay define this coastal landscape on the edge of Lincoln County. The map details a complex maritime environment where land and sea interlock through features like Muscongus Sound and Hockomock Channel. On the mainland, small settlements such as Round Pond and Chamberlain are connected by a network of local roads including Rock School House Rd and Old Co Rd, reflecting a landscape deeply tied to the Maine coast's traditional seafaring and residential patterns.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family roots through sites like Maple Grove Cem near Muscongus and Ocean Hill Cem in the south. The island community of Loudville, with its own Loudville Cem, sits centrally in the bay, surrounded by countless ledges and smaller islands such as Bremen Long Island and the Crotch Islands. This 2018 survey documents the persistent coastal geography of the region, from the sheltered Moxie Cove to the aviation footprint of Ruby Airport.
