Preserved towers read as one coastal network

Along the northern coast, each surviving lighthouse is both a local landmark and part of a wider chain of navigation, weather, and keeper life that shaped maritime movement over generations.

Preserved tower map guide

Read the northern coast as one lighthouse journey

Follow the route line from north to south. Each marker corresponds to a preserved station and short note, helping you read distance, weather exposure, and keeper duty as one connected coastal sequence.

Illustrated archival-style map of the northern coastline with preserved lighthouse towers and route cues — Not to scale: this interpretive map emphasizes sequence and exposure rather than exact nautical distance.

Location notes

Read top-to-bottom as the coastline descends; each station adds context to weather, reef edges, and keeper routine.

1. Black Head Tower

Northern cliff station where fog signals were as critical as the lens in winter crossings.
2. Gull Reach Light

Set beside shifting shoals; keepers logged sandbank movement to adjust warning patterns.
3. Alder Point Beacon

Mid-coast transfer station linking cargo lanes to sheltered inlets and repair docks.
4. South Haven Light

Final southern marker where vessels reoriented inland after rounding exposed headlands.
