2021 Map of Great Wass Island

About this map

Great Wass Island and the surrounding archipelago of Washington County anchor this maritime survey, showcasing a complex coastline of inlets and harbors. To the north and east, substantial landmasses like Head Harbor Island and Big Peabody Island create protected waters such as Mistake Harbor and Head Harbor. The presence of Mannings Farm on the southern tip of the main island provides a rare terrestrial landmark among the numerous coves and ledges. Small thoroughfares and inlets, including Three Falls Harbor and Black Duck Cove, suggest a landscape historically defined by coastal navigation. Land-based infrastructure is minimal, represented by a few local routes like Station Rd and Black Duck Cove Rd that navigate the island's interior and shoreline. Outlying features like Mistake Island and Money Island mark the transition into the Atlantic Ocean.
