About this map

Westport island and the surrounding Lincoln County shoreline are defined by a complex network of tidal inlets and narrow channels, including the Sheepscot River and the Back River. The landscape is dotted with family cemeteries that speak to generations of local settlement, such as the Booth Harrison Ward Cemeteries and the McKinney Daughters Cem near Willis Point. These small burial grounds are scattered across the islands and peninsulas, often tucked away near landforms like Chewonki Neck or Tyler Hill.

Transportation throughout this maritime corridor relies on a mix of modern infrastructure and traditional connections, anchored by the Trevett Swing Bridge and the Wiscasset Airport to the northwest. The presence of numerous coves, such as Tarbox Cove and McCarty Cove, underscores the historical importance of water access for the communities at Murphys Corner, Trevett, and Edgecomb. From the tidal currents of Lower Hell Gate to the quiet waters of Heal Pond, the map reveals a community deeply integrated with its coastal geography.
