2018 Map of Pemaquid Point

About this map

Pemaquid Point stands as a prominent sentinel on the Midcoast Maine shoreline, defining the entrance to Johns Bay and Muscongus Bay. This recent survey details the deeply indented coastal geography where the Damariscotta River meets the Atlantic Ocean, a region defined by its long necks and maritime settlements. From the busy docks of Boothbay Harbor to the quiet reaches of South Bristol, the map captures the contemporary road network, including historic pathways like Shipyard Rd and Murray Hill Rd. Researchers can identify several local burying grounds, such as Oaklawn Cem and Farnham Cem, which reflect generations of family history in these seafaring communities. The terrain is a complex mosaic of ledges and islands, including The Hypocrites and Damariscove Island, which have historically served as critical landmarks for navigation along the rocky Lincoln County coast.
