About this map

Frenchboro stands as a focal point on the northern coast of Long Island, anchored by the protected waters of Lunt Harbor. This coastal settlement is defined by a small network of local thoroughfares, including Shore Rd and High Rd, which serve the cluster of buildings overlooking Harbor Island. The geography of the island is heavily indented by numerous coves and points, such as Eastern Cove and Southern Cove, suggesting a landscape shaped by maritime activity and isolation from the Maine mainland.

Notable landmarks like Yellow Head, Bluff Head, and Richs Head provide significant elevation markers along the rocky perimeter. The presence of features like Salt Ponds near Lookout Point and the descriptive Sheep Yard Point point to traditional land uses and natural formations that have likely guided local navigation and subsistence for generations. The survey captures the island's character as a self-contained community deeply tied to the surrounding Atlantic Ocean.
