1969 Map of Pemaquid Point

About this map

Pemaquid Neck and the rugged fingers of the Maine coast define this maritime landscape as it appeared in the late 1960s. The survey illustrates a coastline deeply indented by Linekin Bay, the Damariscotta River, and Johns Bay, creating a complex network of peninsulas and sheltered harbors. At the eastern tip, the Pemaquid Lighthouse stands watch over the Atlantic Ocean, while inland, small coastal settlements like New Harbor and South Bristol are shown in detail. To the south, isolated outposts like Damariscove Harbor and the aptly named The Hypocrites ledger show the navigational hazards of these waters. Local history is preserved in the locations of Oaklawn Cem and Farnham Cem, alongside seasonal landmarks like Christmas Cove and Ocean Point.
