1906 Map of Monhegan

USGS Topo · Published 1906

About this map

The coastal village of New Harbor and the surrounding islands of Lincoln Co and Knox Co define this maritime landscape at the beginning of the twentieth century. The map illustrates a complex network of granite points and islands, including Bremen Long Island and the isolated Monhegan Island far to the south. Maritime navigation is a central theme, with clear markings for the Steamboat Route weaving through the archipelago and a Life Saving Station (LSS) positioned near Burnt Island. On the mainland, small coastal settlements like Friendship and Port Clyde are established at the heads of protected harbors such as Friendship Harbor and Deep Cove. The map also captures several family-named landmarks and points such as Jameson Pt, Martin Pt, and Burton Pt, providing valuable data for those tracing ancestral lands in the mid-coast region. Coastal geography here is remarkably detailed, showing the intricate inlets of the Medomak River and Meduncook River.
