1944 Map of Vinalhaven

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Vinalhaven and North Haven anchor this mid-century survey of the Fox Islands in Penobscot Bay. The intricate coastline of Calderwood Neck and the deep indentation of Southern Harbor reveal a landscape defined by maritime activity and granite quarrying history. Navigation is guided by several critical beacons including Browns Head LH, Goose Rocks LH, and Heron Neck LH, which mark the treacherous passages through Hurricane Sound and Leadbetter Narrows. Local genealogy is anchored at the Seaview Cem and the concentrated settlement at Carvers Harbor. The map illustrates a complex archipelago where interior freshwater bodies like Long Pond and Fresh Pond sit just yards away from the salt water of The Basin and Winter Harbor.
