1945 Map of Great Point

About this map

Great Point marks the northernmost tip of Nantucket in this mid-century survey, a landscape defined by the shifting sands of the barrier beach system. The narrow peninsula separates the open Atlantic Ocean from the sheltered waters of Nantucket Sound, leading down to the Head of the Harbor. A critical maritime landmark, the Coskata C G Station stands near the marshy borders of Coskata Pond, reflecting the area's importance for coastal safety and navigation during the war years. The map illustrates the delicate geography of Coatue Point and the Beach at Coskata, providing a detailed look at the island's natural coastal defenses and maritime infrastructure before modern environmental changes.
