About this map

Acadia National Park encompasses much of this coastal landscape on the Schoodic Peninsula, where granite rises from the Atlantic Ocean to form prominent elevations like Schoodic Head and Buck Cove Mountain. This 2011 survey details a coast defined by dangerous ledges and rocky outcrops, marked by the presence of the Winter Harbor Light near Mark Island.

Maritime navigation remains central to the area's identity, with numerous named hazards and landing points such as Pulpit Ledge, Roaring Bull, and Schoodic Point. The interior is crisscrossed by roads like Moore Rd and Schoodic Rd, which provide access to landform features like The Anvil and the Frazer Point Picnic Area, reflecting the area's dual role as a protected wilderness and a public recreational destination.
