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".

"This is a picture of the 5th and 6th graders at the Freeman Grammar School taken in 1916. It appears to be a special occasion with the flowers on the desk and the students all looking so serious as their photograph is being taken. This room is located upstairs at Harbor House on the side of the building next to the Lawrence S. Robinson Co. I attended the 4th and 5th grades in that room. It was sunnier than the rooms on the north side of the building, so when my fourth grade teacher, Gladys Whitmore, retired the fifth grade teacher, Bertha Reed, seized the opportunity to move the fifth grade across the hall. I recall feeling a bit disappointed at first that I would not get to be in a different room in the fifth grade, but as I like lots of sun, I think overall I lucked out after all." - Meredith Hutchins 01/24/2012

Description:
This image does not give actual topographic elevations like a topographic map does. It was processed from the raw Lidar point data at a one meter elevation resolution (the raw data is at 25 cm resolution) with a false sun illumination from the northwest.
