1982 Map of Leadbetter Island

About this map

Penobscot Bay surrounds a complex archipelago of the Fox Islands in the early 1980s, where the maritime boundaries of North Haven and Vinalhaven meet. The map details a landscape defined by granite and water, featuring topographical landmarks like Tiptoe Mountain and Middle Mountain alongside numerous ledges such as Crabtree Point Ledge and Fiddlers Ledge. Coastal navigation is supported by the Lighthouse at Browns Head and the Dog Fish Beacon, guiding vessels through the Fox Islands Thorofare and the narrow passages of Leadbetter Narrows. Local industry and conservation are noted through the presence of a Gravel Pit and a Quarry on Vinalhaven, while the Green Island Wildlife Management Area and the Outward Bound Sch on Hurricane Island reflect the era's focus on environmental stewardship and outdoor education.
