About this map

Stinson Neck and the surrounding islands of eastern Penobscot Bay are characterized by a intricate coastline of coves and granite ledges. Along the western shore of Eggemoggin Reach, small settlements like Sunshine and Naskeag serve as focal points for this coastal landscape. The map details the transition from the sheltered waters of Billings Cove and Mud Cove to the open expanse of Jericho Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Whitmore Cem and Coles Point Cem near the village of Oceanville, marking the long-standing family ties to this maritime region. The intricate network of islands, including Hog Island, Bear Island, and the distinctive formation known as The Boulders, illustrates the navigational complexity of these Maine waterways. Roads such as Reach Rd and Naskeag Rd connect the scattered homesites and maritime access points that have sustained these communities for generations.
