1948 Map of Petit Manan

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Corea serves as the primary coastal settlement on this jagged stretch of the Maine shoreline, where the Atlantic tide reaches deep into the land through Gouldsboro Bay and Dyer Bay. The map reveals a landscape defined by saltwater incursions and freshwater heaths, with Corea Harbor and Steuben Hbr anchoring the maritime economy of the mid-century. Genealogists can locate the Corea Cem and a prominent Spire near the town center, while local historians may find interest in the Carrying Place Cove—a name signifying the historical practice of portaging between water bodies. The terrain is marked by numerous islands and ledges, including Lobster Island and Sally Island, situated between Western Passage and Frazer Passage, illustrating the complex navigation required by locals before the era of modern improvements.
