1955 Map of Louds Island

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Louds Island and the surrounding coastal waters of Muscongus Bay define this mid-coast Maine landscape during the mid-1950s. The village of Loudville sits at the heart of the island, which is separated from the mainland by the deep waters of Muscongus Sound. On the western shore, the Pemaquid Neck peninsula is home to the established settlements of New Harbor, Chamberlain, and Round Pond. The map reveals a working maritime and land-based economy, marked by several quarries, borrow pits, and a Boathouse at Muscongus Harbor. Genealogists will find notable sites such as Ocean Hill Cem and Maple Grove Cem, alongside multiple smaller cemeteries scattered near Round Pond. The intricate coastline is dotted with numerous landforms like Keene Neck, Bremen Long Island, and Hungry Island, illustrating the complex navigation required through Keene Narrows and Hockomock Channel.
