About this map

Swans Island anchors this coastal survey, where the settlements of Minturn, Atlantic, and Richtown are connected by a network of local roads such as King David Rd and Rodericks Head Rd. The island's interior is marked by significant water bodies including Stockbridge Pond and Goose Pond, while the southern shoreline at Minturn is characterized by Quarry Pond, hinting at the island's industrial history.

Navigational landmarks like the Blue Hill Bay Lighthouse and Banks Airport serve the maritime and aerial traffic of Blue Hill Bay and Eastern Passage. The surrounding archipelago is dense with smaller landforms, from Eagle Island and Opechee Island in the northwest to the Sister Islands in the southeast. This 2011 edition shows the modern road naming conventions, including Island Retreat Rd and Atlantic Loop Rd, while documenting the enduring presence of the Swans Island Post Office as a central hub for the island community.
