2021 Map of Frenchboro

About this map

Long Island and its isolated settlement of Frenchboro anchor this coastal survey, showing the intricate geography of the outer islands of Hancock County. The village is clustered around Lunt Harbor, shielded from the open Atlantic Ocean by Harbor Island. The island’s topography is defined by its rocky perimeter, featuring prominent landmarks like Yellow Head to the northeast and Bluff Head to the south. A small network of roads, including Shore Rd and High Rd, serves the community near the harbor, while the remainder of the island remains largely undeveloped, characterized by natural features like the Salt Ponds and various coves. Researchers will find a detailed layout of the shoreline, from Whale Beach down to Southwest Point, illustrating how the maritime environment dictates the island's small-scale settlement pattern and road placement.
