Historical Nautical Charts

We have downloaded and posted these historical nautical charts for the Presque Isle area. 

The charts are courtesy of the NOAA Office of Coast Survey's Historical Map & Chart Collection. The collection covers the land and waters of the United States of America, including territories and possessions (past and present). 

Notice: Historical Charts are not for Navigation. Screen captures of Historical Charts do not fulfill chart carriage requirements for regulated commercial vessels under Titles 33 and 46 of the Code of Federal Regulations. For navigational charts, please visit the NOAA Office of Coast Survey.

Today's NOAA Office of Coast Survey traces its charting efforts back to 1807, when President Thomas Jefferson founded the Survey of the Coast. To celebrate and preserve this long history, NOAA started assembling the collection in 1995 as a data rescue effort. NOAA continues to preserve charts and maps produced by NOAA's Coast Survey and its predecessors, especially the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey and the U.S. Lake Survey (previously under the Department of War).
