2015 Map of Great Point OE E

About this map

Atlantic Ocean waters dominate this maritime survey, illustrating the maritime boundary where Barnstable County and Nantucket County meet. The map focuses on a transitional marine environment where nautical navigation depends on shifting seafloor features. The presence of Little Round Shoal in the northern portion of the sheet highlights the submerged hazards that define this stretch of the Massachusetts coast. Because this map captures the open sea and offshore shoals, it provides an essential perspective on the jurisdictional divides that extend into the Atlantic, far from the physical coastlines of the Cape and Islands.
