2018 Map of Isles of Shoals

About this map

Gosport and the rocky outcroppings of the Isles of Shoals straddle a unique maritime boundary where the Maine and New Hampshire state line meets the open Atlantic Ocean. This island landscape is defined by its isolation and small-scale human marks, most notably the Laighton Family Cem, which provides a specific genealogical anchor to the archipelago's long history of habitation. The waters of Bigelow Bight wrap around these landmasses, illustrating the sparse but significant geography of this offshore cluster. The map clearly delineates the administrative division between York County and Rockingham County, showing how these distant islands are integrated into the coastal governance of two different states.
