1893 Map of Gay Head

USGS Topo · Published 1905

About this map

Elizabeth Islands form a distinctive chain across the northwest, shielding Vineyard Sound from the open waters of Buzzards Bay. This 1887 topography, published in the 1890s, reveals a maritime landscape defined by isolated lights and protected coves. Navigation is critical throughout the archipelago, with Tarpaulin Cove Light and Cuttyhunk Light marking the approaches to the islands, while the Gay Head Light stands watch over the western extremity of Marthas Vineyard.
