About this map

Isle Au Haut Bay and the jagged western coastline of its namesake island dominate this maritime survey, revealing a landscape defined by granite shorelines and scattered archipelagos. The settlement of Isle Au Haut serves as the primary hub, situated near the northeastern corner of the map. Along the shore, the topography rises sharply to landmarks such as Bald Mountain and Duck Harbor Mountain, offering a detailed view of the island's interior elevations.

Genealogical and local history interests are centered around Turners Cemetery and the small coastal landing at Lookout. The map documents the vital connection between land and sea at Duck Harbor Landing and the recreational use of the coast at Duck Harbor Campground. Beyond the main island, dozens of smaller landmasses like Merchant Island and Harbor Island dot the Atlantic Ocean, separated by complex ledge systems and named channels that have dictated navigation in these waters for generations.
