2014 Map of Salsbury Cove

About this map

Mount Desert Island and the mainland shore of Trenton are linked by the Trenton Bridge, illustrating the modern transportation network serving this coastal corridor. On the island, the expansive boundaries of Acadia National Park dominate the landscape, protecting diverse terrain from the heights of Youngs Mtn to the shoreline at The Ovens. The map documents a complex human geography through its numerous small burial sites, including the Emery Family Burial Ground and the Higgins Marcyes Burial Ground, which reflect deep-seated family roots in the Salsbury Cove and Town Hill areas. On the mainland, the Hancock County-Bar Harbor Airport stands as a significant landmark near Lamoine Corner and East Lamoine. This survey effectively captures the transition between organized settlements like Bar Harbor and the protected wilderness of the interior, marked by features such as Frenchmans Hill and Eagle Lake.
