2024 Map of Southwest Harbor

USGS Topo · Published 2024

About this map

Somesville sits at the northern head of Somes Sound, marking the historic heart of Mount Desert Island where coastal settlement patterns follow the deep-cut glacial fjords. The landscape is defined by the proximity of high granite peaks like Mansell Mtn and Bernard Mtn to protected harbors and coves. The map reveals an extensive network of family heritage through numerous scattered burial sites, such as the Spurling Revolutionary War Cem near Seawall and the Richardson Burying Ground near Hall Quarry. This 2024 data highlights the enduring maritime and village layout of Northeast Harbor and Southwest Harbor, where residential clusters meet the jagged coastline. From the high elevation of Beech Mtn to the low-lying Bass Harbor Marsh, the map documents the complex relationship between the protected lands of Acadia National Park and the established communities of Hancock County.
