2018 Map of Winter Harbor

About this map

Winter Harbor and the Schoodic Peninsula anchor this coastal landscape in Hancock County, Maine. The map details a rugged shoreline defined by deep coves and rocky points, where maritime life centers on settlements like Prospect Harbor and Gerrishville. Further inland, the terrain is shaped by numerous wetlands and heaths, including Goose Pond Heath and Dingle Meadow Heath, alongside freshwater bodies like Forbes Pond. Portions of Acadia National Park occupy the southern tip, preserving the character of the granite coastline. Local history is documented through numerous family and community burial sites such as Nahum Jones Cem and Whitaker Cem. The coastal economy is visible through the infrastructure around Grindstone Neck and the harbors that have supported local fishing and summer communities for generations.
