2024 Map of Monhegan

About this map

Monhegan Island stands as a distinct maritime outpost within Muscongus Bay, where the village of Monhegan serves as the focal point for this isolated Atlantic community. The landscape is defined by its dramatic coastal geography, from the heights of Lighthouse Hill down to the protected waters of Monhegan Harbor. Surrounded by smaller landmasses like Manana Island and Smutty Nose Island, the island's perimeter is a complex network of named ledges and coves, including Lobster Cove and Squeaker Cove. To the north, the Georges Islands group, featuring Allen Island and Burnt Island, marks the transition toward the mainland. This survey records the enduring layout of one of Maine's most famous artist colonies and fishing settlements, documenting the footpaths and local roads such as Lobster Cove Rd that connect its rocky heads and pebbled shores.
