It consists of a peninsular nine miles in length, extending south-westward, with a parallel line of islands on each side. These are known as Harpswell Neck, and, on the east, Great, or Sebascodigan Island, Orrs Island, Baileys Island, and numerous smaller ones. Between the peninsular and the islands first named is the long Harpswell Harbor. On the west side of the peninsular is Middle Bay. These two bodies of water at their northern extremity approach so near to each other that near the Brunswick line the peninsular is little more than forty-five rods wide. Great Island, the largest of the islands, and the most easterly part of the town, is separated from West Bath by New Meadows River. The three larger islands have their greatest length nearly north and south, and succeed each other in the same direction. The two first are connected with each other, and the first with the main land by bridges. Each is penetrated from the north and from the south by many harbors and inlets, and their surfaces are varied by hill, valley and forest.
