1904 Map of Mount Desert

USGS Topo · Published 1910

About this map

Sieur De Monts National Monument dominates the eastern heights of this coastal survey, reflecting the early administrative steps toward preserving this island landscape. The map captures the maritime orientation of the early twentieth century, noting the U.S. Coaling Station near Lamoine and active steamboat routes connecting Northeast Harbor and Southwest Harbor. Inland, the economy of Mount Desert is visible through the Hall Quarry and small settlements like Somesville and Town Hill. The terrain is defined by dramatic peaks such as Sargent Mt. and Western Mountain, which rise above numerous inland water bodies including Seal Cove Pond and Jordan Pond. On the mainland, the Union River flows past Bayside into Union River Bay, illustrating the established connection between the coastal villages and the interior river networks of Hancock County.
