1941 Map of Vinalhaven

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

North Haven and the larger island of Vinalhaven dominate this mid-century coastal survey of Penobscot Bay, capturing the seafaring and quarrying landscape of the Fox Islands Thorofare before significant modern development. The map details a complex maritime environment where narrow passages like Leadbetter Narrows and The Basin break the granite coastline. Settlement patterns are concentrated around sheltered anchorages, with notable features such as Pulpit Harbor Cem and Seaview Cem providing touchpoints for local genealogy. To the south, the granite-quarrying history of Hurricane Island is preserved in its mapped footprint. Navigational landmarks essential to the bay's commerce, including Goose Rocks L H and Browns Head L H, stand as sentinels over the water. Topographical details such as Isle au Haut Mtn and Coombs Hill reveal the varied elevations that define these island interiors.
