About this map

Matinicus Island and its surrounding archipelago anchor this coastal survey, documenting the isolated character of Maine's outermost inhabited islands. The settlement of Matinicus occupies the northern reaches of the island, served by a modest network of local roads including Main Rd and Leach Rd. The map illustrates the vital maritime connection to the mainland via the Rockland-Ragged Fry route, which navigates past hazards like Foster Ledges and Bantam Ledge in the Atlantic Ocean.

South of the main settlement, the land breaks into smaller landmasses such as Wheaton Island, Tenpound Island, and the larger Ragged Island. This chart provides a detailed look at the island's infrastructure, including the Matinicus Island Airport, and names specific offshore fishing or navigation points like Pigeon Ground and Southwest Ledges, reflecting the deep-rooted reliance on the sea that defines this community.
