2021 Map of Tenants Harbor

About this map

Tenants Harbor serves as the central hub of this Knox County coastline, where the rugged maritime geography of the Saint George peninsula meets the Atlantic. The map documents a complex network of coastal roads like St George Rd and Port Clyde Rd that connect the village to outlying settlements at Martinsville and Clark Island. Beyond the mainland, the map details an intricate archipelago including Whitehead Island, Rackliff Island, and the Spectacles, defining the navigational hazards and sheltered waters of Wheeler Bay and the Muscle Ridge Channel. For the local historian, the inclusion of several burial grounds, such as Seaside Cem and South Parish Cem, provides essential points of reference for genealogical research. The landscape is characterized by its tidal features and named points, from Hawthorn Point in the north down to the prominent Mosquito Head at the southern tip of the harbor's protection.
