2014 Map of Searsport

About this map

The coastal village of Searsport anchors this mid-coast Maine survey, where the seafaring history of Penobscot Bay meets the modern infrastructure of Mack Point. The landscape is defined by the deep indentation of Long Cove and the prominent Sears Island, which remains a significant undeveloped landmass in the harbor. Moving inland, the terrain is dotted with numerous small family and community burial grounds, including Smart Cem, Mt Hope Cem, and Bowditch Cem, providing a detailed map for genealogists. Water resources are plentiful, with the Goose River flowing toward Belfast Bay and several distinct bodies of water like Upper Mason Pond and McClure Pond situated among the winding coastal roads. To the south, the village of Bayside and the peninsula of Turtle Head on Islesboro Island mark the transition into the deeper waters of the bay, illustrating the intricate shoreline of Waldo County.
