1982 Map of Vinalhaven

About this map

Vinalhaven serves as the central hub for this island landscape, where the granite industry and maritime commerce left a permanent mark on the terrain. Evidence of the island’s extractive history is visible at Lawson Quarry Pond and Booth Quarry Pond, while the village itself is anchored by local landmarks like the Lighthouse and the Pumping Sta. The intricate coastline is defined by features such as Winter Harbor and Coombs Neck, connected to the interior via Stepping Stone Road and the Carrying Place Bridge. Genealogists will find several burial grounds across the island, including Hill Cem, Cummins Cem, and Roberts Cem. The map illustrates a complex network of waterways, from the narrow Mill River to the broad Fox Islands Thoroughfare, which separates the island from North Haven to the north.
