About this map

South Harpswell and the surrounding islands of Casco Bay are depicted here with extensive detail on the interconnected land and sea routes of the Maine coast. The map highlights the peninsula of Harpswell Neck and the distinct island communities of Great Chebeague Island, Cliff Island, and Bailey Island. Local family names and small-scale geographic features are preserved through labels like Graveyard Point Cem and the tidal features at Basin Cove Falls.

Maritime transit is central to life in this archipelago, illustrated by the Cliff Island Ferry route and numerous sheltered anchorages such as Potts Harbor, Fishermans Cove, and Broad Sound. The landscape is a complex network of ledges and smaller landmasses, including Whaleboat Island, Jewell Island, and Hope Island, which have defined local navigation and settlement patterns for generations. This survey provides a precise look at the road networks that link these coastal outposts, from Abner Point Rd to the interior lanes of the larger islands.
