Schoodic Head, Acadia National Park, Hancock County, ME
Schoodic Head, at 440 feet above sea level, is the highest point on the Schoodic peninsula. Another geological promontory known as The Anvil lies to the southeast near Blueberry Hill. There are several small creeks that flow west from the peninsula's interior to feed the numerous wetlands and ponds. The largest of these is Frazer Creek, which drains to the northwest into Mosquito Harbor at Frazer Point. There are at least two springs on the peninsula, one in the vicinity of Schoodic Head and another on Big Moose Island. Big Moose, the largest of the islands surrounding the peninsula, is located on the southern tip, separated from the mainland by a small brackish marsh at West Pond Cove. Among the numerous smaller islands, two of them, Pond and Little Moose, can be reached from the mainland at low tide. (edited version of NRHP nominaton text)
