2021 Map of Pemaquid Point

About this map

Pemaquid Point and the complex rocky inlets of the Damariscotta River define this coastal landscape, where the sea deeply penetrates the Maine shoreline. The map documents several peninsular communities, including South Bristol, East Boothbay, and New Harbor, each structured around protective coves like Christmas Cove and Meadow Cove. Small cemeteries, such as Holbrook Cem, Island Cem, and Tibbetts Cem, are scattered across the points and islands, offering valuable data for genealogists tracing family landholdings near the water. The geography of the islands is intricate, ranging from the larger Rutherford Island to the distant Damariscove Island and the cluster of The Hypocrites. Local elevation is notable at Mount Pisgah and Lookout Hill, providing vantage points over the Atlantic Ocean and Johns Bay.
