1893 Map of Gay Head

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

Gay Head and the southwestern reaches of Marthas Vineyard define this coastal landscape, surveyed in the late nineteenth century. The map illustrates a maritime environment where narrow channels like Robinsons Hole and Quicks Hole thread through the Elizabeth Islands. On the mainland of the Vineyard, the settlement of Chilmark sits among significant topographic features such as Prospect Hill and Peaked Hill, while the western extremity is anchored by the Gay Head Light atop the storied Gay Head Cliffs.
