1977 Map of Cuttyhunk

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The southern end of the Elizabeth Islands archipelago is captured here via orthophotography, providing a clear visual record of the shoreline and land cover in the late 1970s. The settlement of Cuttyhunk is visible on the eastern end of Cuttyhunk Island, serving as the primary hub of human activity between Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound. This aerial perspective highlights the distinct geography of the outlying islands, including the smaller Penikese Island to the north and the larger, more elongated Nashawena Island to the east. The transition from the developed village area of Cuttyhunk to the open, low-lying landscapes of Pasque Island illustrates the isolated maritime character of this corner of Massachusetts. Genealogists and historians can use this imagery to study the footprints of island dwellings and the natural state of the land before modern changes.
