1951 Map of Great Point

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Great Point marks the northernmost tip of this slender coastal barrier system, where the waters of Nantucket Sound meet the Atlantic Ocean. Revised in 1951, the map captures the delicate topography of Nantucket Island before modern coastal shifts significantly altered its contours. The narrow, sand-swept spine of Coskata Beach provides a fragile link between the mainland and the point, sheltering the interior Coskata Pond.
