1972 Map of Cuttyhunk

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Elizabeth Islands separate the waters of Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound in this 1970s coastal survey. The map details the remote settlement of Gosnold on Cuttyhunk Island, where the village of Cuttyhunk clusters near a Water Tank and small Cem. The landscape is defined by interior brackish bodies like Westend Pond and Fresh Water Pond, and the narrow passage of Quicks Hole between Nashawena Island and Pasque Island. Nautical landmarks such as a Lighthouse and several named rocks like North Rock and South Rock mark the treacherous shoreline. This topographic study captures the maritime character and isolation of the chain during a period when shoreline changes and bathymetry were meticulously updated from aerial photography and planetable surveys.
