1950 Map of Drisko Island

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Drisko Island and its surrounding archipelago anchor this mid-century maritime survey of Washington County, Maine. The coastal landscape is defined by the narrow passage of Tibbett Narrows and the prominent protrusion of Moose Neck near the northern boundary. Based on hydrographic surveys dating back to 1870, the map meticulously charts the hazards of the Western Bay, including Batson Ledges and the Flat Island Ledges. This documentation captures the intricate shoreline of Cape Split and isolated outposts like Nash Island before decades of North Atlantic weather further reshaped these granite-edged landmasses. The topographic detail reveals the sparse nature of settlement on these islands, focusing instead on the vital relationship between the land and the Gulf of Maine.
