About this map

The Mount Desert Narrows and Eastern Bay dominate this coastal landscape, separating the mainland settlements of East Lamoine and Marlboro from the northern reach of Mount Desert Island. In the early 21st century, this area serves as a primary gateway to the island, with the Hancock County - Bar Harbor Airport and the Trenton bridge providing vital infrastructure. The map reveals a dense network of family-named cemeteries and landmarks that speak to the region's long-established communities, including Salsbury Cemetery and Forest Hill Cemetery.

Coastal geography is intricately detailed, from the rocky outcrops of The Ovens and Shooting Ledge to the sheltered waters of Raccoon Cove. Inland, the terrain rises toward significant elevations like McFarland Mountain and Youngs Mountain, while numerous small water bodies such as Blunts Pond and Lake Wood drain into the surrounding bays. The landscape reflects a mix of traditional residential clusters like Town Hill and Salsbury Cove alongside a robust seasonal economy represented by numerous camping resorts.
