1956 Map of Mount Desert

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Mount Desert Island and its surrounding coastal peninsulas are captured here in a mid-century period of established maritime life and burgeoning conservation. The map highlights the core of Acadia National Park, with its mountain peaks like Mansell Mtn and Acadia Mtn framing the deep waters of Somes Sound. The seafaring heritage of the area is evident in the numerous small harbors and coves, from the active waterfronts of Southwest Harbor and Northeast Harbor to the quieter settlements of Salsbury Cove and Pretty Marsh.
