1985 Map of Matinicus

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Matinicus Isle Plt and the surrounding outer islands of Knox County stand as a remote maritime outpost in the mid-1980s. This planimetric survey focuses on the isolated settlement of Matinicus and the smaller community of Criehaven on Ragged Island. The map illustrates the specialized geography of the Maine coast, where scattered ledges like East Black Ledge and Green Ledge flank essential navigation points such as Matinicus Rock. Conservation efforts are prominent here, with the Seal Island National Wildlife Refuge protecting Seal Island and its nearby waters. The distribution of small harbors and landforms, including Condon Cove and Wheaton Island, reveals a landscape defined entirely by its relationship with the Atlantic Ocean, showing the small footprints of habitation on these granite outcroppings.
