1955 Map of Hewett Island

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Muscle Ridge Channel serves as a central maritime artery through this section of the Maine coast, separating the mainland from a dense archipelago of granite islands. This 1950s survey, updated in the 1970s, details a landscape defined by navigation and light industry, notably centered around the Two Bush Island U S Coast Guard Sta and the U.S. Coast Guard Res on Whitehead Island. The map records the intricate hazards of these waters, naming numerous features such as Hurricane Ledge, South Breaker, and the Northern Triangles. Land-based features include the sheltered Home Harbor and larger landmasses like Hewett Island and Hurricane Island. The topographical data shows the relationship between these island outposts and the open Atlantic Ocean, providing essential detail for researchers of mid-century coastal Maine.
