1906 Map of Monhegan

USGS Topo · Published 1950

About this map

Monhegan Island sits at the southern edge of this mid-coast maritime landscape, anchored by its namesake Monhegan LH and the rugged contours of Black Head and White Head. The survey details a complex network of coastal commerce and navigation at the start of the twentieth century, tracing the Steamboat Route as it threads through Muscongus Sound and the Georges Islands. Mainland settlements like Port Clyde, New Harbor, and Friendship appear as established fishing and granite hubs, while offshore outposts on Louds Island and Bremen Long Island highlight a period when Maine's larger islands supported year-round communities. Several critical aids to navigation are noted, including the Marshall Pt LH and Franklin LH, marking the treacherous approaches to Muscongus Harbor and the Meduncook River. This map captures a time before the consolidation of coastal industries, when small harbors and family-named landmarks such as Keene Neck and Hooper Island defined the local economy.
