1972 Map of Great Point

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Nantucket Island narrows into a slender, shifting arm of sand and salt marsh at its northernmost extremity in this 1972 survey. The landscape is defined by the fragile connection of The Galls, a thin strip of land separating the turbulent waters of the Atlantic Ocean from the sheltered reaches of Nantucket Sound. At the very tip stands the Lighthouse at Great Point, a critical maritime waypoint for vessels navigating the shoals of the Massachusetts coast.
