2018 Map of Great Point OE E

About this map

Atlantic Ocean waters dominate this maritime survey east of the Massachusetts coastline. The map focuses on a stretch of open sea where the seafloor rises to form Little Round Shoal in the northern portion of the quadrangle. This nautical landscape, documented in the late 2010s, illustrates the shifting underwater topography characteristic of the shoals surrounding the outer reaches of the Cape. While the map is devoid of terrestrial settlements or landmarks, it serves as a precise record of these offshore hazards and the vast marine environment defining the eastern approach to the sound.
