About this map

Penobscot Bay and the Atlantic Ocean surround a complex archipelago of granite islands and dangerous ledges in this 2011 coastal study. The map centers on the Fox Islands Thorofare, a critical marine passage separating the islands. Prominent landmarks such as Tiptoe Mountain and Middle Mountain rise above the coastline, while local maritime activity is evidenced by several ferry routes, including the Rockland - North Haven and Rockland - Vinalhaven lines.

Navigational hazards are meticulously documented, from Dog Fish Beacon to the treacherous Drunkard Ledge and Inner Bay Ledges. On land, a network of rural roads like Browns Head Light Rd and Crockett River Rd connect family-named points such as Crockett Point and Young Point. This map provides a detailed look at the interface between the rugged Maine coast and the intricate Hurricane Sound waterway.
