About this map

Isle Au Haut anchors this coastal Maine survey, revealing a landscape defined by granite ridges and intricate shoreline features. Inland, freshwater sources like Long Pond and Pats Brook contrast with the surrounding Atlantic Ocean. The island's topography is dominated by elevations such as Coombs Mountain, while the coastline is a maze of named points and coves including Richs Point and Negro Head.

Extending into the outer reaches of the bay, numerous smaller landmasses and navigational hazards are documented, including Marshall Island, McGlathery Island, and Fog Island. The prevalence of named ledges like Colby Ledge, Airy Ledge, and White Ledge underscores the maritime character of this area. This survey captures the relationship between the elevated island interior and the complex chain of islands and shoals that comprise this section of the Maine coast.
