About this map

Vineyard Haven and Edgartown anchor the northeastern shores of Martha's Vineyard, where maritime connections define the geography. The map traces the vital ferry corridors connecting the islands to the mainland, including the New Bedford - Oak Bluffs Ferry and the route toward Woods Hole. Between these settlements, the land is characterized by numerous coastal ponds and marshlands such as Upper Lagoon Pond and the extensive Sengekontacket Pond Marshes, reflecting the complex interface of the island's interior waters and the Atlantic Ocean.

Genealogical interest is particularly high due to the density of burial sites across the landscape, from the Sailors Burying Ground near the harbor to Tower Hill Cem overlooking the eastern coast. Modern infrastructure like the Martha's Vineyard Airport and the Bike Path network shows the transition from historic ferry-reliant isolation to contemporary accessibility. High ground at Telegraph Hill and East Chop serves as a reminder of the island's navigational significance.
