1956 Map of Isles of Shoals
USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
Appledore Island and its surrounding archipelago anchor this mid-century maritime study of the Isles of Shoals, straddling the border between York County, Maine, and Rockingham County, New Hampshire. The map documents a cluster of rocky outcrops in the Atlantic Ocean where history and geography are deeply intertwined, visible through commemorative markers like the Tucke Mon and Capt John Smith Mon on Star Island. These islands served as vital outposts for fishing and navigation for centuries, a role emphasized here by the Lighthouse on White Island and the shelter of Gosport Harbor.
