About this map

Edgartown and the eastern shores of Martha’s Vineyard appear in high detail during the early 1940s, revealing a landscape defined by its coastal geography and early aviation infrastructure. The map documents the sprawling Chappaquiddick Island to the east, separated from the main town by Edgartown Harbor and bounded by the waters of Cape Poge Bay. Significant maritime landmarks, including the East Chop Lighthouse, Edgartown Lighthouse, and Cape Poge Lighthouse, mark the shoreline, while the interior shows the transition of the island's economy with the presence of both the Edgartown Airport and Oak Bluffs Airport.
