1984 Map of Schoodic Head

About this map

Acadia National Park dominates the southern tip of this coastal peninsula, showcasing a landscape defined by dramatic granite elevations and complex maritime inlets. In the mid-1980s, the area maintained a dual identity as both a protected wilderness and a strategic military outpost, evidenced by the U S Naval Res situated prominently on Big Moose Island. The topographic detail reveals the sharp rise of Schoodic Head and Buck Cove Mountain, which provide vantage points over Winter Harbor and the Atlantic Ocean. Along the eastern shore, the map records the traditional coastal settlements within the town of Gouldsboro, including the protected waters of Bunkers Harbor and Wonsqueak Harbor. Off-shore, numerous islands and navigational markers like Winter Harbor Light on Mark Island highlight the importance of maritime safety in these rocky Maine waters.
