2014 Map of Monhegan

About this map

Monhegan Island Lighthouse stands as the sentinel of this isolated coastal landscape, overlooking a rugged cluster of islands and rocky ledges in the Atlantic Ocean. The settlement of Monhegan is concentrated near the western shore, sheltered by Manana Island and the waters of Monhegan Harbor. This map captures the maritime dependence of the area, defined by established ferry routes like the Monhegan Boat Line Fry and Hardy Boat Cruises Fry that connect these outposts to the mainland. Coastal geography dominates the quadrangle, from the heights of Black Head and White Head to the tidal reaches of Lobster Cove and Christmas Cove. The surrounding waters are punctuated by hazards and landmarks such as Old Man Ledge, Duck Rocks, and the Georges Islands to the north, illustrating the navigational complexity of the Maine shoreline.
