1973 Map of New Harbor

About this map

Pemaquid Neck and the village of New Harbor define the western shoreline of this coastal survey, where the terrestrial landscape of the Bristol peninsula meets the expanse of Muscongus Bay. The map provides a detailed look at the maritime hazards and landmarks essential to the local fishing and seafaring economy, including the New Harbor Sunken Ledges and the prominent Daybeacon on Eastern Egg Rock. Inland, the terrain rises toward Lookout Hill, while the coast is marked by inlets like Back Cove and Pumpkin Cove. This 1973 photorevision incorporates updates from aerial photography, offering a precise view of the mid-coast Maine shoreline before the further development of the late 20th century. Notable offshore features such as Moser Ledge and Little Island illustrate the complex underwater topography of the Atlantic Ocean in this region.
