Island-scale maritime reference context for Whiskey Island: NOAA bathymetry, GNIS named bays and harbors, and locally mapped OSM waterfront features; not a navigational chart.
Visual descriptionwritten by a machine · unchecked
A printed atlas map shows a large pale coastal landform surrounded by blue water with subtle bathymetric shading. A legend in the upper left uses symbols for mapped piers or breakwaters, lighthouses, beacons, ferry terminals, and named bays or harbors. A black-and-white scale bar runs along the bottom edge, with small source and explanatory text beneath the map.
A model wrote this. It was shown the image and the catalogue record together, and asked to keep them apart — what it saw is here, what the record told it is under "taken from the record" below. It is still wrong often enough to matter, about who is pictured, where, when, and what is happening. Read it as a way to find the image, never as evidence about it. If you can correct it, please do: write to michael.bommarito@gmail.com, or see how corrections work. Someone who recognises a face or a shoreline knows more than the model did.

Taken from the record
Not observed in the image — supplied by the archive's own catalogue, and repeated here so the two stay distinguishable.
The catalogue record classifies this image as an atlas plate in the Maritime Atlas collection and describes it as an island-scale reference map rather than a navigational chart. It records that the drawing was made from archive data, with underlying data attributed to OpenStreetMap contributors, USGS GNIS, USGS 3DEP, and NOAA NCEI Great Lakes bathymetry.
Could not make out
Stated rather than guessed at.
Tiny source text along the bottom edge is not fully legible.
