2014 Map of Winter Harbor

About this map

Acadia National Park dominates the southern landscape of this coastal survey, encompassing the dramatic topography of the Schoodic Peninsula. The shoreline is a complex network of points and harbors, from the protected waters of Inner Winter Harbor to the eastern reach of Prospect Harbor. Fishing and maritime heritage are evident in the cluster of settlements including Winter Harbor, Birch Harbor, and South Gouldsboro, while the interior is dotted with freshwater bodies like Jones Pond and Forbes Pond. Numerous family cemeteries, such as Nahum Jones Cem and Whitaker Cem, provide significant genealogical markers across the town of Gouldsboro. Local infrastructure follows the rugged coastline, with the Schoodic Scenic Bywy and Us-1 providing primary access to these historic Downeast communities.
