1997 Map of Orrs Island

About this map

Sebascodegan Island and Orrs Island define this coastal reach of Casco Bay, where the complex network of tidal inlets and fingers of land reveals the maritime character of the Maine coast. Small fishing villages and residential clusters like Cundys Harbor and Harpswell Center are connected by winding corridors like Harpswell Road, while larger institutions such as the U S Naval Air Station occupy the northern flatlands near Brunswick. The intricate coastline is dotted with smaller features of local historical interest, including the Union Ch, the Queen of the Mission Chapel, and the Cranberryhorn Cem. Numerous islands, from the significant Yarmouth Island to the smaller Bombazine Island, separate deep water passages like Harpswell Sound and Merriconeag Sound, illustrating a landscape shaped by both the sea and the quiet expansion of these coastal communities through the late twentieth century.
