The only national park in the Northeast — where granite mountains rise directly from the Atlantic Ocean. Mount Desert Island's contour lines tell a story of glacial carving, dramatic shoreline, and the easternmost mountains in the United States.
Create an Acadia National Park PrintThe highest point on the U.S. Atlantic coast — first to see sunrise from October through March.
Rugged granite shoreline where contour lines meet the ocean — a topographic rarity.
Acadia is a topographic anomaly — mountains meeting the sea. Most coastal terrain is flat. Most mountain terrain is inland. Here, granite peaks rise directly from the Atlantic, creating contour maps where tightly packed elevation lines simply end at the waterline. It's a cartographer's fascination.
Our prints render Mount Desert Island and the surrounding coast from 1-arc-second USGS 3DEP elevation data. The contour lines reveal what makes Acadia unique: compact mountains with dramatic vertical relief compressed into a small island. Cadillac Mountain rises 1,530 feet just two miles from the ocean.
The Heritage preset evokes classic New England cartography. The Terrain preset shows the island's surprisingly varied elevation in hypsometric color. The Ocean preset is perfect here — water and land share the composition in a way no inland park can match.
Every print is rendered individually for your exact coordinates. Choose a summit, a shoreline, or the full island — no two prints are identical. Museum-quality prints from $29 with free worldwide shipping.
