This map displays Acadia National Park boundaries, Bar Harbor, Mount Desert, Southwest Harbor and Tremont land use regulatory zones, and private property boundaries. In ArcView, users can click on and identify any land area on Mount Desert Island (MDI). When a user clicks on an area with these layers active, ownership and land protection ordinance data is returned. All land areas on MDI have protective measures in place whether they are privately owned, municipal, or national park lands.
Data layers shown on this map were developed by College of the Atlantic students for the listed entities. Students worked with local officials in selecting and designing color schemes for the official town maps, and official town map colors are represented on this map. This map has been well accepted by the island community and is the only map that shows the island as a whole. One purpose of this map was to promote an understanding of cross-boundary land protection issues and a more holistic way of looking at the island.
College of the Atlantic would like to pay tribute to one of the map authors, Kurt Jacobsen, who recently passed away, and the late Ian McHarg, landscape architect, mentor, spiritual advisor, and giant in the environmental movement.
