1953 Map of Matinicus

USGS Topo · Published 1995

About this map

Matinicus Island and Ragged Island anchor this mid-century survey of the outer islands in the Atlantic. The settlement at Matinicus serves as the primary hub, with its protected Matinicus Harbor sheltered by Wheaton Island and Indian Ledge. To the south, the village of Criehaven is situated on Ragged Island, where the topography rises toward Wilson Head. The map details the maritime life of these remote outposts, marking coastal features like Markey Beach, South Sandy Beach, and various hazardous points such as The Hogshead and Inner Breakers. A dedicated U S Coast Guard Reservation at Matinicus Rock highlights the vital navigational role these islands played. Cultural details include identified ruins near Criehaven Harbor and a light guiding vessels through Matinicus Roads.
