About this map

Acadia National Park dominates this coastal survey, where the granite ridges of Cadillac Mountain and Pemetic Mountain overlook a complex shoreline of coves and islands. The settlement of Seal Harbor serves as a gateway to the park's interior, while the Cranberry Isles to the south, including the village of Islesford on Little Cranberry Island, illustrate the maritime orientation of this portion of Hancock County in the early 1980s.

Cultural landmarks like Sieur de Monts Spring, the Museum, and the Amphitheater near Blackwoods Campground highlight the area's development for public recreation and conservation. Genealogists may note the Cem near Schooner Head or the St Jude Ch and Union Ch in the harbor village. The map also documents essential maritime infrastructure, including the Lighthouse at Egg Rock and the navigable Gilley Thorofare, reflecting a landscape defined by both its permanent residents and its role as a premier national destination.
