1942 Map of Mount Desert

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Acadia National Park dominates the eastern half of this coastal survey, where the carriage roads and early trail networks of Mount Desert island are meticulously documented. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the granite peaks and glacial ponds like Jordan Pond and Eagle Lake to the intricate maritime settlements at the island's fringe. To the north, the Bar Harbor Airport stands near the narrow causeway at The Narrows, while scientific and industrial landmarks such as the Marine Biological Laboratory near Salsbury Cove highlight the area's mid-century role as a research hub.
