1973 Map of Searsport

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Searsport and the surrounding coastline of Penobscot Bay define this mid-coastal landscape during the early 1970s. The deep-water harbor at Searsport Harbor shows a concentrated maritime industrial hub, with the Bangor and Aroostook railroad line terminating at piers near Mack Point. Inland, the terrain is dotted with small family and community burial grounds, including Smart Cem, Mt Hope Cem, and Bowditch Cem, offering valuable data for genealogists tracing local families. The map details the transition from the developed centers of Belfast and Searsport to more rural areas like Swanville, where recreational sites such as Moose Point State Park and Durham State Forest provide public access to the shore and woods. Significant water bodies like Mc Clure Pond and Goose River drain into the bay, illustrating the local hydrology and its relation to early settlement patterns.
