About this map

Frenchboro serves as the primary coastal settlement on Long Island, situated at the northern edge of this island landscape in Hancock County. The island's geography is defined by a series of rocky protrusions and coves, including Western Point, Lookout Point, and Yellow Head. A small network of local roads, such as Shore Rd and Upper Rd, provides access within the village, connecting it to the surrounding natural features.

The coastline is punctuated by diverse shore environments, ranging from Salt Ponds to numerous pebble and sand expanses like Whale Beach, Big Beach, and Little Beach. To the south and east, the terrain extends toward prominent landmarks such as Richs Head and Union Point, which define the island's relationship with the vast Atlantic Ocean. This map offers a clear view of the island's isolated layout and maritime orientation at the start of the 21st century.
