About this map

Vinalhaven serves as the central hub of this island landscape, where the town's grid meets the complex coastline of East Penobscot Bay. The geography is defined by a dense network of water bodies and narrow necks, including Round Pond, Long Pond, and the sheltered waters of Winter Harbor. This 2021 survey illustrates a modern island economy that still respects its deep historical roots, visible in the numerous family cemeteries and remnants of the stone industry like Booth Quarry Pond.

Navigation and transport are vital themes here, from the Vinalhaven Airport to the various landings along Fox Islands Thorofare. Small landmarks like Mill Priviledge and the winding Calderwood Neck Rd suggest a long history of local land use. Beyond the main settlement, the map extends to the protected lands of the Petit Manan National Wildlife Refuge, highlighting the region's commitment to preserving the coastal ecosystem.
