About this map

Louds Island and the coastal reaches of Lincoln County define this coastal landscape, where the Atlantic intersects with a complex network of narrows and harbors. The small settlement of Loudville sits near the center of the island, accompanied by the Loudville Cem, while on the mainland, the village of Round Pond serves as a focal point for the surrounding coastal community. The shoreline is deeply indented by features like Moxie Cove and Muscongus Harbor, revealing a maritime environment where rocky ledges, such as Poland Ledges and Cow Island Ledges, dictate the local navigation.

Genealogists and local historians can find numerous family-named landmarks and resting places, including Maple Grove Cem and Ocean Hill Cem near Chamberlain. The map also documents the inland water system, from Webber Pond to Pemaquid River, alongside modern infrastructure like the Ruby Airport. This contemporary survey reflects the enduring settlement patterns of a region defined by its relationship with Muscongus Sound.
