1955 Map of Monhegan

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Monhegan Island serves as the focal point of this maritime survey, illustrating the isolated community and nautical infrastructure of this famous coastal outpost. The settlement of Monhegan is concentrated on the western shore, sheltered by the adjacent Manana Island and the smaller Smutty Nose Island. This natural anchorage, known as Monhegan Harbor, was essential for the local fishing economy and is marked by a prominent Lighthouse and a U S Coast Guard Reservation. To the north, the Georges Islands group includes Allen Island and Burnt Island, separated by wide stretches of the Atlantic Ocean. The topography of the main island is defined by dramatic coastal features like Black Head and White Head, rising steeply from the sea, while smaller coves like Lobster Cove and Christmas Cove indent the southern shoreline.
