About this map

Toothacher Bay and the open expanse of the Atlantic Ocean dominate this coastal survey, where a scattered archipelago of small landmasses sits off the Maine coast. The landscape is defined by its maritime hazards and family-named landmarks, ranging from larger outcroppings like Johns Island and Heron Island to numerous low-lying ledges and rocks that define the navigation of these waters.

Maritime navigation is recorded through specifically identified features such as Johns Island Sunken Ledge, Mason Ledge, and Huron Island Point Ledge. The map captures the rugged character of the shoreline at Devils Head and Gooseberry Point, alongside isolated outposts like Brimstone Island and Scrag Island. This 2011 edition provides a clear record of the coastal geography as it stood at the start of the twenty-first century, useful for tracing the natural boundaries of these island properties.
