2018 Map of Tenants Harbor

About this map

The sheltered waters of Tenants Harbor and Mosquito Harbor anchor this coastal survey, where the seafaring tradition of Knox County meets the granite-bound shores of the Atlantic Ocean. The settlement pattern follows the intricate coastline, with clusters of homes and docks in Martinsville and around the cove at Tenants Harbor. Local genealogy is well-preserved through the documentation of the Seaside Cemetery, Hillside Cemetery, and South Parish Cemetery, providing fixed points for historical research. Beyond the mainland, the map details a dense archipelago including Clark Island, Whitehead Island, and Mosquito Island, many of which are connected to the maritime industry by ledges and shoals like Mosquito Ledge and Hart Ledge. This 2018 edition illustrates how modern road networks like Ridge Road and Harts Neck Road navigate the same peninsulas and points that have defined this harbor community for generations.
