1974 Map of Monomoy Point

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Monomoy stands as a dynamic coastal barrier where the waters of Nantucket Sound meet the open Atlantic Ocean. This 1974 survey captures the shifting sands and delicate ecology of the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge during a period of significant coastal transformation. The landscape is dominated by expansive tidal flats and barrier dunes that protect interior freshwater features like Big Station Pond and Hospital Pond. Evidence of former human presence remains visible in the south, most notably the Lighthouse (Abandoned) standing near Monomoy Point. The map provides a detailed study of the area's hydrology, from the Sallis Drain in the north to the treacherous Butler Hole currents off the southern tip, revealing how the sea continuously reshapes these marshes and inlets.
