1981 Map of Salsbury Cove

About this map

Acadia Nat Park anchors the southern portion of this coastal survey, where the rugged shoreline of Mount Desert Island meets the waters of Eastern Bay. This region is defined by its maritime landscape, featuring intricate inlets like Jordan River and Skillings River that carved the mainland into necks and points. The map documents the early 1980s infrastructure serving the area, most notably the Hancock Co-Bar Harbor Airport and its accompanying Seaplane Ramp. Along the northern shores, the communities of Lamoine Corner and Marlboro remain tied to the water, while the interior of Lamoine is dotted with numerous gravel pits, indicating the local reliance on geological resources. Historic cemeteries like Forest Hill Cem and Hillside Cem are carefully noted, providing valuable data for genealogists tracing families in settlements such as Salsbury Cove and Town Hill.
