1982 Map of North Haven East

About this map

The coastal island architecture of Knox County and Hancock County is defined by a dense archipelago in the Penobscot Bay. The landscape is dotted with ancestral landmarks, including the Seaview Cem, Brown Cem, and Frye Cem, which speak to the long-standing maritime families of North Haven. Navigational markers like the Goose Rocks Lighthouse and the North Haven Ferry route emphasize the reliance on the Fox Islands Thorofare for local transit and commerce. Notable settlements and clearings, such as The Wood Landing on Eagle Island and the Watson Landing Strip on the main island, show how the community balanced traditional boat access with modern aviation needs during the early 1980s. The map reveals a mixture of working waterfronts and protected spaces, including a Wildlife Management Area on Grass Ledge.
