2011 Map of Matinicus OE NW

About this map

The Atlantic Ocean dominates this coastal survey, where the rugged maritime boundary between the mainland and the outer islands is clearly defined. The southeastern corner of the map captures the small outcroppings of Two Bush Island and the neighboring rocky feature known as Whaleback. These landmarks, along with Northeast Point, serve as critical navigational aids for the transit route between Rockland and Matinicus Island. This specific corridor highlights the isolation of the Penobscot Bay outposts in the early 21st century, focusing on the essential shipping lanes and natural coastal hazards that have shaped Maine's seafaring history.
