2011 Map of Vinalhaven

About this map

The town of Vinalhaven serves as the hub of this island landscape, where the coastline is deeply indented by coves and tidal passages like the Fox Islands Thorofare. The topography is marked by a history of resource extraction, evidenced by Lawson Quarry Pond and Booth Quarry Pond, which now punctuate the interior. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich, locating several ancestral burial grounds including the Lane Family Cemetery, John Carver Cemetery, and Roberts Cemetery. Access across the island's interior is defined by a network of winding roads like Calderwood Neck Rd and Ocean View Rd, while the Mary Talbot Memorial Airfield provides a modern connection to the mainland. The surrounding waters of East Penobscot Bay and Isle Au Haut Bay are filled with numerous named islands and ledges, such as Mount Ephraim Island and Starboard Rock.
