2024 Map of Tenants Harbor

About this map

Tenants Harbor and the village of Martinsville anchor this jagged stretch of the Maine coastline, where the land fragments into a complex network of peninsulas and granite-fringed islands. The seafaring character of the region is evident in the dense cluster of named maritime features, from the sheltered waters of Mosquito Harbor and Wheeler Bay to the outlying Metinic Island and the lighthouse-guarded Whitehead Island. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several burial grounds, including Seaside Cem and South Parish Cem, while the industrial past of the area is hinted at by Atwoods Quarry Rd near Long Cove. Extensive coastal protections are represented by the Petit Manan National Wildlife Refuge, which encompasses several islands and ledges. This modern survey illustrates how traditional coastal settlements remain deeply integrated with the surrounding Atlantic environment, connected by historic routes like St George Rd and Harts Neck Rd.
