2021 Map of Newbury Neck

About this map

Newbury Neck Road bisects the long peninsula separating Morgan Bay from the Union River Bay, illustrating a coastal Maine landscape where historical settlement patterns are closely tied to the water. In the early 21st century, the area around Surry and Ellsworth remains defined by its maritime geography and numerous family-named landmarks. The map is a significant resource for genealogists, documenting over a dozen small burial grounds including the Haynes - Gilley - Jordan Cemetery and the Whittenmore Cemetery. Shoreline features like Carrying Place and Poignant Point suggest the long-standing use of these waters for local navigation and transit. To the east, the village of West Trenton and the surrounding Goose Cove area show a network of local roads such as Bayside Road and Oak Point Road that connect isolated coastal homesteads.
