About this map

Petit Manan Point and the complex jagged coastlines of Steuben, Harrington, and Addison define this coastal survey at the turn of the century. The map illustrates a maritime-dependent landscape where a designated Steamboat Route passes south of Petit Manan I, which is marked by the Petit Manan I L H lighthouse. The deep indentations of Gouldsboro Bay and Dyer Bay reach inland, separated by landmasses like Dyer Neck.

Maritime navigation is central to the area's identity, evidenced by the Narraquagus L H on Pond I and numerous named ledges and bars such as Bald Rock and Outer Bar I. Coastal life is punctuated by local landmarks like Dyer Harbor and Pigeon Hill, alongside many small islands like Jordans Delight and the Douglas Islands. The map also captures the political geography of the era, specifically the Hancock Co Washington Co boundary line as it strikes through the coastal waters.
