Map. Color print on wood of hand-drawn, 1947 annotated map of Cranberry Isles and surrounding MDI by Douglas Macfarlan (donor's father). Includes annotations and drawings of the early history of the area. Mounted on board. Legend acknowledges L.S. Phillips (perhaps Lawrence Sims, hotelier), Joseph P. Sims (architect), and W.O. Sawtelle (local historian). Donor has other unmounted paper prints of this map which have not faded or yellowed like this one. Donor recalled coming to GCI from Philadelphia as a child with his father in their old Ford when it took three days.
