About this map

Naskeag Harbor and the eastern fringes of Deer Isle define this maritime landscape, where the waters of Eggemoggin Reach and Jericho Bay meet a complex archipelago. Small settlements like Sunshine and Oceanville are connected by a network of local roads including Sunshine Rd and Reach Rd, which serve coastal points and inlets such as Billings Cove and Conary Cove. The map documents numerous islands and ledges that have long dictated navigation in the area, from Campbell Island to the many hazards within the Deer Island Thorofare.

Genealogical interest is found at the Naskeag Cem, Whitmore Cem, and Coles Point Cem, which mark the history of established coastal families. Portions of the Petit Manan National Wildlife Refuge appear on offshore islands like Mahoney Island, highlighting the conservation of this reach of the Maine coast. The terrain is a mix of low-lying points such as Naskeag Point and protected coves, reflecting a traditional reliance on both land and sea.
