1904 Map of Petit Manan

USGS Topo · Published 1917

About this map

Petit Manan Point and the jagged coastline of Down East Maine define this coastal survey, where the maritime economy of the early twentieth century is etched into every inlet. The map tracks the vital Steamboat Route connecting these isolated harbors, anchored by the critical beacons of Petit Manan L.H. and Narraguagus L.H. Small fishing villages and landings such as Corea and Norton punctuate a landscape of massive granite headlands and tidal flats. From the heights of Pigeon Hill and Eagle Hill, the terrain drops sharply into the interconnected waters of Gouldsboro Bay, Dyer Bay, and Narraguagus Bay. This era of coastal life is marked by numerous family-named landmarks like Joe Dyer Pt. and Rogers Pt., reflecting a deeply rooted local genealogy tied to the sea and the rocky peninsulas of Hancock and Washington counties.
