1945 Map of Swans Island
USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
The rocky archipelago of Swans Island anchors this mid-century maritime survey, revealing a landscape defined by granite coasts and essential seafaring hubs. Small villages such as Atlantic, Minturn, and the eponymous Swans Island settlement serve as the primary hubs on the main island, while the remote outpost of Frenchboro on Long Island marks one of the most isolated communities on the Maine coast. These settlements are linked to the mainland by the Ferry to Rockland, illustrating the maritime lifeline required for island life during this era.
