About this map

Chappaquiddick Island and the coastal harbors of Martha's Vineyard are captured in detail just before the mid-century, revealing a landscape defined by maritime navigation and nascent aviation. This 1944 edition, based on 1942 surveys, highlights the vital role of the East Chop Lighthouse, Edgartown Lighthouse, and Cape Poge Lighthouse in guiding vessels through Nantucket Sound. The map shows established settlements like Edgartown and Oak Bluffs alongside smaller locales such as Jerneganville and Clevelandtown, reflecting the island's inland development.
