1893 Map of Small Point

USGS Topo · Published 1898

About this map

Small Point anchors this coastal survey of the Casco Bay region, where the mainland of Phippsburg meets the Atlantic. The 1890 topography reveals a landscape defined by jagged peninsulas and a dense archipelago of islands, from the larger Bailey Island and Orrs Id. in the west to the offshore sentinels of Seguin Light and Pond Id. Light. The map captures the maritime character of the late nineteenth century, noting hazardous reefs like Bald Head Ledge and Fuller Rock alongside sheltered waters such as Carrying Place Cove and Horse Cove. Inland, the narrow drainage of North Brook and the Sprague River highlight the delicate geography of the neck, while place names like Cliffstone and Popham Beach mark early coastal development before the modern era of extensive shorefront infrastructure.
