About this map

Isle Au Haut and its surrounding archipelago define the eastern edge of East Penobscot Bay in this early 1980s survey. The map details the intricate island landscape of Merchant Row, where numerous smaller landmasses like Merchant Island and Harbor Island create a complex navigation route through the Isle Au Haut Bay. On the main island, the village of Isle Au Haut is clustered near the Isle Au Haut Thorofare, supported by local landmarks such as Turners Cem and the Robinson Point Lighthouse.

Significant portions of the southern terrain are preserved within Acadia National Park, featuring elevations like Bald Mtn and Wentworth Mtn. The rugged coastline is punctuated by natural harbors such as Moores Harbor and Duck Harbor, while the offshore Saddleback Ledge Lighthouse stands as a solitary sentinel in the open water. The distribution of trails and small coves like Squeaker Cove suggests a landscape shaped by maritime tradition and conservation.
