1957 Map of Small Point

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Fort Baldwin and the surrounding U S Mil Res Fort Baldwin anchor the coastal defenses of this mid-century maritime landscape where the Kennebec R meets the Atlantic Ocean. The settlement of Small Point occupies the peninsula's southern tip, characterized by a complex network of coastal features like Small Point Harbor and Bald Head Cove. The mapping of this area, revised in 1957, reveals a geography defined by tidal dynamics, with extensive Tidal Flats stretching between Morse Hill and Sabino Hill. Inland water bodies such as Spirit Pond and Silver Lake contrast with the exposed Atlantic coastline at Hunnewell Beach and Head Beach. Notable navigation markers and historical structures, including several Lights and the US CG Sta at Popham Beach, emphasize the region's enduring importance to Maine's maritime safety and military history.
