1893 Map of Small Point

About this map

Phippsburg and the surrounding islands of Casco Bay are depicted here during the late nineteenth century, showing a maritime landscape defined by rocky ledges and isolated outposts. Navigational aids like the Pond Id. Light and Seguin Light stand as critical landmarks for vessels transiting the Gulf of Maine. The coastline of Small Point is intricately detailed, revealing the tight clusters of topography around Head Beach and the sheltered waters of Carrying Place Cove. On the land, a Mill at Mill Pt. suggests the local industry that once thrived alongside the fishing and shipping trades.
