2024 Map of Louds Island

About this map

Louds Island and the jagged Lincoln County coast define this maritime landscape, where the settlement of Loudville remains a central geographic marker. The island sits between Muscongus Harbor and the Muscongus Bay, flanked by a complex network of granite hazards like Cow Island Sunken Ledges and Halftide Ledge. On the mainland, the village of Round Pond serves as a protected anchorage, while the road network connecting Muscongus and Chamberlain reveals a pattern of historic coastal habitation. Genealogists will find numerous family-centric burial grounds throughout the peninsula, including Maple Grove Cem, Elliott Cem, and the Poole Greenlaw Cem. The presence of the Petit Manan National Wildlife Refuge and Franklin Island National Wildlife Refuge underscores the shift toward coastal conservation in this longstanding fishing and seafaring region.
