Cuttyhunk Island anchor this coastal survey, where the waters of Buzzards Bay and Rhode Island Sound meet. This maritime environment is defined by its navigation hazards and isolated geography, featuring prominent submerged obstacles like Sow and Pigs Reef, Ribbon Reef, and Coxens Ledge. On the island itself, a small network of roads including Gosnold Co Rd and Tower Hill Rd serves the local settlement near Fresh Water Pond. To the east, the landscape transitions through the Elizabeth Islands, noting the small Canapitsit Airport and the interior Middle Pond. The map also delineates the Intracoastal Waterway as it cuts through the Atlantic Ocean, marking the boundary where Dukes County meets Bristol County in the open sea.
