About this map

Edgartown Great Pond and a series of coastal salt ponds dominate this southern Martha's Vineyard landscape, where the Atlantic shoreline meets a complex network of coves and necks. The terrain is defined by narrow peninsulas like Jobs Neck and Jacob's Neck, separated by tidal waters including Paqua Pond and Oyster Pond. This coastal geography has long shaped the local economy and travel, evidenced by the historical water passage at Mattakeset Herring Cr.

Infrastructure in this area centers on the Katama Airpark and a web of roads named for local families and agricultural history, such as Scrubby Neck Farm Rd, Jennie Ahearn Rd, and Joe Walker RD. Traditional routes like Watcha Path and Meetinghouse Way provide insight into the inland connectivity of Dukes County. The southern edge is anchored by the public reach of Katama County Beach against the open Atlantic Ocean.
