About this map

Searsport and the eastern edge of Belfast overlook the vast expanse of Belfast Bay and Penobscot Bay in this modern coastal survey. The maritime landscape is defined by deep-water points and islands, including Sears Island and the prominent Turtle Head on the northern tip of Islesboro Island. Along the shoreline, industrial and commercial activity centers around Mack Point and Kidder Point, while the residential character of the era is evident in the smaller settlements of Bayside and East Northport.

Genealogists and local researchers will find a high density of burial grounds throughout the quadrangle, from the Elmwood Cem and Village Cem in the heart of Searsport to the more rural Smart Cem near Fox Ridge. Inland, the terrain is marked by numerous small drainages like Morrow Brook and Piper Brook, which historically powered the local economy. This map provides a clear view of the road network and property locations as they existed in the late 2010s.
