Description:
Anne (Weston) McGowan gave twelve Mount Desert Island maps and brochures to the Southwest Harbor Public Library in June 2014. Among the maps was this blueprint. The Treadway family, who summered at “Grayrock” in Seal Harbor, had given the maps to her.

This rare and delicate map contains hand-drawn annotations in red and black ink. Most are located in the lower right quadrant in the vicinity of Sargent Mountain, Redfield Hill, Day Mountain and Seal Harbor. To see these markings, view the map at full size and full screen.

The actual map is located in the archives of the Southwest Harbor Public Library. It measures 45" x 32.5".
