About this map

Matinicus Island and Ragged Island anchor this coastal survey, representing the remote maritime outposts of Knox County. The settlement at Matinicus serves as the primary hub, where Main Rd and Ice Pond Rd connect the interior to the Matinicus Post Office. The map illustrates a landscape defined by its relation to the Atlantic Ocean, with numerous ledges and points such as Two Bush Ledge, Cato Ledge, and Field Point encircling the islands.

Southward, the smaller settlement of Criehaven on Ragged Island highlights the isolated nature of these fishing communities. Notable coastal features like Markey Beach and South Sandy Beach contrast with the rocky prominence of Wilson Head and High Head. The intricate network of smaller landmasses, including Wheaton Island, Tenpound Island, and Pudding Island, provides a detailed view of the archipelago's geography during the early 21st century.
