1972 Map of Edgartown

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Oak Bluffs and Edgartown anchor this detailed coastal survey of Martha’s Vineyard, revealing the island’s landscape just after the mid-century. From the harbor at Edgartown Harbor to the eastern reaches of Chappaquiddick Island, the map documents a mix of seasonal resort infrastructure and deep-rooted local landmarks. Coastal navigation is marked by the East Chop Light and the Lighthouse near Chappaquiddick Pt, while the interior shows the grid of the Martha's Vineyard State Forest and several small airfields like Trade Wind Airport and Katama Air Park. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific locations of the New Westside Cem, Sacred Heart Cem, and an old Burying Ground near Clevelandtown. The survey captures the intricate shoreline of the Edgartown Great Pond and the barrier beach at Joseph Sylvia State Beach Park, showing the delicate balance between the Atlantic and the island's inland coves.
