About this map

Cape Split and Moose Neck anchor the northern reaches of this coastal survey, where the terrestrial landscape of Washington County gives way to the intricate island chains of Pleasant Bay. This 2014 maritime map records a complex network of granite hazards and tidal features, from the sheltered Tibbett Narrows to the exposed Gulf of Maine. The cartography emphasizes the navigational realities of the Maine coast, identifying numerous navigational marks such as Stanley Ledge, Harbor Ledge, and Batson Ledges.

Island groups like Drisko Island, Tibbett Island, and Stevens Island dominate the central geography, separated by waters like Western Bay. Farther out into the Atlantic Ocean, the map traces the isolated outposts of Big Nash Island and Flat Island. For those studying coastal Maine, this survey captures the enduring relationship between the mainland shore and the scatter of islands that define this maritime region.
