2018 Map of Great Point

About this map

The Galls represents the primary landform in this maritime survey, illustrating the narrow, shifting coastal topography where land meets the Atlantic Ocean. Located near the northern reaches of Nantucket, this area is characterized by its isolation and the constant influence of the sea on its sandy shoreline. The map focuses almost exclusively on the surrounding waters, providing a clear picture of the maritime environment and the delicate finger of land that defines the entrance to local harbors. It is a specialized view of a coastal boundary that is perpetually reshaped by the currents and tides of the open ocean.
