Hello,

For a topographic map of Skjervoy, Hakstein (Makstein) and
surroundings:

Go to (http://www.maponweb.com/no-en/start.html).
Under "Search Type," select "Search City."
Under "County," select "Troms."
Type "skjer" in the "City" box, click the "Begins with" button, and
click "Search."
A box will pop up; click "Show Map."
When the map appears, click the plus sign twice.

If you need something more detailed, Travel Genie sells 1:50,000 scale
maps of Norway. They come from Norway, so I can't tell you if the
legend has an English translation. But the name of the little
waterways are the same in any language. You want maps 1635-II and
1735-III (it looks like Skjervoy and Hakstein are on different maps).
See (http://showcase.netins.net/web/travelgenie/nora4ahtm.htm).

(www.freetranslation.com) offers translation from Norwegian.

Good luck.

maponweb.com does not provide very detailed maps.  You can view
official Norwegian Survey maps at
http://ngis2.statkart.no/norgesglasset/stedsnavn/default.html  . 
Enter "Hakstein" (capitalization is significant) in the "Søk etter"
field and click the "Start søk" button.  Then souble click the
"Hakstein" line in the results ("søkjeresultat") table.  This will
give you a map that is of the same quality as the printed M711 series
maps that mwalcoff-ga already has suggested.
