2011 Map of North Haven West

About this map

Penobscot Bay and the interconnected waterways of the mid-coast islands dominate this 2011 survey, focusing on the western reaches of North Haven and the surrounding archipelago. The landscape is defined by the sheltered waters of Gilkey Harbor and Southern Harbor, where coastal roads like Crabtree Point Rd and Amesbury Point Rd follow the irregular shoreline. For genealogists and local historians, several family-named landmarks and burial grounds are documented, including the Fuller Cemetery, Seaview Cemetery, and Leadbetter Cemetery. Notable heights such as Ames Knob provide vertical contrast to the low-lying points like Deacon Brown Point and Sedgewick Point. The nautical character of the region is evident in the numerous hazards and passages, from McIntosh Ledge to the Fox Islands Thorofare, reflecting the era's continued reliance on marine navigation alongside modern aviation at Witherspoons Airport.
