About this map

Great Wass Island and its surrounding archipelago dominate this coastal Maine survey, revealing a landscape defined by complex inlets and offshore islands. On the main island, Station Rd and Black Duck Cove Rd provide limited access to the interior, while the southern reaches like Red Head and Little Pond Head remain largely unpaved. The settlement at Mannings Farm sits near the southwestern shore, overlooking a cluster of smaller islands including Crumple Island and Fisherman Island.

The intricate coastline is marked by numerous sheltered waters such as Mistake Harbor, Three Falls Harbor, and the curious Mud Hole. To the northeast, a dense collection of smaller landmasses—including Steele Harbor Island, Money Island, and Knight Island—protects the inner reaches of Eastern Bay and Main Channel Way. This modern documentation by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the enduring maritime character of Washington County's outer islands as they transition into the open Gulf of Maine.
