1906 Map of Tenants Harbor

About this map

Tenants Harbor serves as the focal point for this early twentieth-century survey of the Knox County coastline, where the land fragmentizes into a dense archipelago of granite islands and ledges. Small maritime settlements like Martinsville and Elmore are connected by coastal roads, while the offshore waters are defined by the critical navigation of the Muscle Ridge Channel and Two Bush Channel. The maritime economy of the era is evident in the designated Steamboat Route that cuts through the outer islands, linking remote outposts like Metinic Island to the mainland.
