Map. Digital photograph of a property map of Moorfield Storey's GCI properties ca. 1928. Legend on lower corner reads: "Map showing land on Great Cranberry Island, Maine, belonging to Moorfield Storey [at xx/xx maybe 8/31?], surveyed and made by [Alruly or Alruh?] L. Reed, surveyor, Northeast Harbor, Maine." This very large plan map shows parcels on the south west portion of GCI along the town road surrounding Bulger Hill. It shows property boundaries with owners names (often including deed references from about 1886-1928), placement of houses, water tank, woods etc. Names include: Donald; Stanley Heirs-Storey; Frank Nelson; Duran to Storey; Stanley to Storey; Emma E. Birlem to Moorfield Storey; Wyatt to Storey; George O. Johnson to Moorfield Storey; Moorfield Storey to Charles M. Storey; Ralph Bulger to Chas M. Storey; Clarence Crosby to Chas. M. Storey; Margaret H. Pierce; the Cranberry Club; and John H. Pressey to Moorfield Storey, among others. This map shows the extent of changes wrought by rusticators. It also captures the location of the "old house" before it was moved in 1945, and the location of the Stanley Cemetery: 2015.326.2088B shows this detail. [Due to poor quality of the photograph, some writing is illegible. Donor has original which we'll eventually scan.]
