About this map

North Haven and the surrounding islands of Penobscot Bay define this maritime landscape, where a network of harbors and coves supported coastal life for generations. On the southern portion of the map, the settlement is knit together by local routes like Pulpit Harbor Rd and Crabtree Point Rd, connecting historic family-named landmarks such as Ames Knob and Amesbury Point. For those researching local lineages, the Leadbetter Cem and Fuller Cem are clearly marked near the working waterfronts of Southern Harbor and Pulpit Harbor.

The coastal geography is intricate, featuring numerous smaller landmasses like Job Island, Lasell Island, and Mark Island, the latter of which is preserved as part of the Petit Manan National Wildlife Refuge. From the narrow Fox Islands Thorofare to the northern tip of Islesboro Island at Pendleton Point, the survey details the many ledges and rocks—such as Tumble down Dick and Egg Rock Ledge—that have historically challenged local mariners.
