About this map

The coastal harbor of Rockland and its surrounding peninsulas anchor this detailed survey of the Knox County shoreline. Multiple ferry routes, including the Rockland-Vinalhaven Fry and the Rockland-Matinicus Fry, radiate from the city piers into West Penobscot Bay, illustrating the area's continued reliance on maritime transit. To the south, the community of Owls Head is mapped in detail, showing a landscape densely dotted with local landmarks like Evergreen Cem and Holiday Beach.

The terrain is defined by a series of rocky points and coves, from Jameson Point in the north to the Weskeag River near South Thomaston. Notable for local historians, the map identifies numerous small burial grounds such as Achorn Cem and Seaview Cem, alongside significant infrastructure like the Knox County Regional Airport. The archipelago in the Muscle Ridge Channel is also documented, featuring islands like Ash Island and Dix Island Harbor.
