1951 Map of Cuttyhunk

USGS Topo · Published 1951

About this map

The Elizabeth Islands separate the waters of Buzzards Bay from Vineyard Sound in this early 1950s survey. The small settlement of Cuttyhunk sits at the eastern end of Cuttyhunk Island, overlooking the protected waters of Cuttyhunk Harbor and the narrow Canapitsit Channel that divides it from the larger Nashawena Island. This map documents a coastal landscape defined by isolated homesteads and maritime infrastructure, including the C G Sta and several interior water bodies like Gosnold Pond and Middle Pond. To the northeast, the smaller Penikese Island and Gull I stand apart from the main chain. The topography reveals the varied elevations of the islands, from the low-lying Copicut Neck to the high point of Saddleback Hill, providing a clear view of the island chain before significant modern development altered these remote outposts of Dukes County.
