2014 Map of Matinicus OE E

About this map

The Atlantic Ocean dominates this offshore survey, providing a maritime perspective of the jurisdictional boundaries of Maine far from the mainland. Located in the waters southeast of the Penobscot Bay archipelago, the map charts the administrative limit of Knox County as it arcs through open water. This 2014 edition serves as a precise record of marine boundaries and hydrography at a scale of 1:24,000, illustrating the vast aquatic territory that falls under local governance. The absence of landmasses or terrestrial features emphasizes the importance of maritime surveying in defining the easternmost reaches of the state's coastal authority.
