2024 Map of Isles of Shoals OE W

About this map

Atlantic Ocean waters dominate this maritime survey, which captures the remote southern reaches of the Isles of Shoals at the maritime border of New Hampshire and Maine. The map focuses on the small, rocky outcrops of Lunging Island and White Island, the latter of which sits adjacent to the treacherous White Island Ledge. This area is characterized by its isolation and the significant navigational hazards posed by the underwater topography of Bigelow Bight. The boundary between Rockingham County, New Hampshire, and York County, Maine, cuts across the open water, illustrating the historical division of these offshore territories. This document provides a clear look at the sparse but vital outposts that have guided sailors along the coast for generations.
