1982 Map of Vinalhaven

USGS Topo · Published 1990

About this map

Vinalhaven is the central hub of this island study, revealing a landscape deeply influenced by its granite-quarrying past and maritime orientation. The island's industrial heritage is clearly visible in the presence of Booth Quarry Pond and Lawson Quarry Pond, sites that helped build cities along the Atlantic coast. The settlement pattern follows the intricate coastline of Calderwood Neck and Coombs Neck, where small family burial grounds like Cummins Cem and Roberts Cem reflect generations of local residency. Navigation remains central to the area's identity, anchored by the Lighthouse at the southern tip and sheltered waters such as Carvers Harbor and Winter Harbor. From the granite pits to the fishing reaches, the map captures the transition of a rugged island economy during the late twentieth century.
