1889 Map of Marthas Vineyard

USGS Topo · Published 1889

About this map

Cottage City and Edgartown anchor this late-nineteenth-century survey of the island's eastern half, revealing a landscape defined by coastal navigation and seasonal development. The map details the burgeoning resort infrastructure of the era, from the planned streets of Oak Bluffs and Highlands to the harbor activity at Vineyard Haven. Maritime safety is a central theme, with clear markings for West Chop Light, East Chop Light, Edgartown Light, and Cape Poge Light guarding the dangerous shoals of the sound and harbor entrances.
