Somes Sound bisects the landscape of Mount Desert Island, creating a dramatic corridor between Acadia Mtn and the elevations to the east. This coastal survey centers on the maritime and village life of Southwest Harbor, Northeast Harbor, and Manset, where the relationship between the sea and the shore is defined by deep inlets and protected harbors. The map reveals a dense network of local history through its numerous small family burial sites, such as the Clark Family Burying Ground and the Gilley Burying Ground, which are scattered among the settlements.
