1904 Map of Vinalhaven

USGS Topo · Published 1938

About this map

Vinalhaven and North Haven dominate this maritime survey of the Fox Islands, showing the intricate granite coastline and island clusters at the turn of the century. The map details a landscape defined by the sea, with a established Steamboat Route connecting these isolated island communities to the mainland across West Penobscot Bay. While the interior of the islands features high points like Coombs Hill, the settlement pattern is strictly coastal, concentrated around natural protected anchorages like Southern Harbor and Roberts Harbor. Local industry is visible through the infrastructure on Hurricane Island, which at this time was a significant granite quarrying center. The survey captures the complex navigation of the Maine coast, mapping every ledge and passage, from the wide Au Haut Bay to the narrow Fox Islands Thoroughfare that separates the two primary islands.
