About this map

The working waterfront of Corea and the peninsula surrounding Pigeon Hill define this coastal landscape on the Schoodic Peninsula. The map reveals a complex network of maritime features, from the protected waters of Corea Harbor and Prospect Harbor to the expansive Gouldsboro Bay and Dyer Bay. Shoreline heritage is evident in the naming of points and coves, such as Dolly Head, Rogers Point, and Schooner Cove, suggesting a long history of seafaring and local navigation.

Inland, the terrain rises toward Eagle Hill and the eponymous Pigeon Hill, while localized landmarks like Chair Pond and Big Pond are tucked behind the rocky coast. Genealogy researchers can locate the Corea Cem and Haraden Cem, which serve as permanent records of the families who settled these points. The map also delineates several islands, including Lobster Island, Sally Islands, and Dry Island, marking the transitions through Western Passage and Frazer Passage.
