2021 Map of North Haven East

About this map

Penobscot Bay surrounds a complex archipelago where family history is deeply rooted in the soil and shoreline. The settlement of North Haven serves as a southern anchor, while the surrounding landscape is marked by numerous family burial grounds, including Old Brown Cem, Frye Cem, and Witherspoon Cem on Butter Island. The terrain is characterized by intricate water bodies like Pulpit Harbor and Fresh Pond, alongside low-lying wetlands such as Purgatory Swamp. Transportation on the islands relies on a network of local roads like Oak Hill Rd and Mullens Head Rd. The mapping of small islands such as Eagle Island and Bradbury Island highlights the maritime isolation and self-sufficiency of these coastal communities. To the northwest, a portion of the Petit Manan National Wildlife Refuge encompasses Compass Island, preserving the natural character of these outlying ledges.
