Unlike some artists' pictorial maps, Clarke doesn't attempt cheap humor or resort to demeaning stereotypes in her pictograms. The visual theme throughout could be described as old-fashioned Yankee Nautical as Clarke combines selected history and geography with nautical imagery to produce a map that reflects the nautical past and present of New Hampshire's Coast. Nautical symbols Clarke used include:
<div class="indenttextblocksingle">
<ul style="list-style-type: circle;">
<li>Anchor: The anchor is a symbol of stability, security, and hope. It represents the idea of being grounded and rooted, and being able to weather storms and challenges.</li>
<li>Ships wheel: The ship's wheel, also known as the helm, is a symbol of leadership, guidance, and control. It represents the idea of being able to steer a course through difficult waters.
<li>Whale: The whale is a symbol of strength, power, and the natural world. In maritime culture, whales were often seen as formidable creatures that commanded respect and awe.
<li>Sailor: The sailor is a symbol of adventure, courage, and freedom. Sailors were often seen as brave and resourceful individuals who were willing to venture out and face danger and uncertainty.</li>
<li>Rope: A rope can be seen as a symbol of connection, safety, or security, as it is often used to tie ships to docks or to other vessels.</li>
</ul>
