About this map

The coastal interface of Lamoine and Mount Desert Island is captured here in the early 1980s, revealing a landscape defined by saltwater inlets and glacial heaths. On the mainland, Lamoine Corner and East Lamoine serve as anchor points near the shores of Berry Cove and Raccoon Cove, while the Hancock Co-Bar Harbor Airport stands as a modern gateway on the Trenton peninsula.

Across the Desert Island Narrows, the northern edge of Acadia National Park encompasses landmarks such as Salsbury Cove and Hulls Cove. Genealogists will find numerous family-named landmarks and resting places, including Forest Hill Cem and Higgins Cem near Indian Point. The presence of The Heath and Sunken Heath illustrates the unique bog-like terrain typical of this part of Hancock County, providing a window into the traditional land use and natural boundaries of the era.
