2014 Map of Matinicus

About this map

Wooden Ball Island and Matinicus Rock emerge from the Atlantic Ocean in this coastal survey of the outer waters of Knox County. The map documents a maritime landscape defined by small island outcroppings and navigational hazards, most notably the rocky protrusion of Malcolm Ledge to the northeast. This 2014 edition captures the precise topography of these remote landforms, providing essential detail for those studying the island chains and maritime boundaries of coastal Maine. The presence of established county boundaries across the open water highlights the administrative reach of the mainland into the Gulf of Maine, even at these distant points of land.
