1974 Map of Monomoy Point

About this map

Monomoy Island stretches southward into the Nantucket Sound, forming a narrow barrier of Barrier Dunes and shifting sands between the protected waters and the Atlantic Ocean. This mid-1970s survey by the U.S. Geological Survey depicts the fragile coastal geography of the Chatham National Wildlife Refuge, where interior freshwater features like Big Station Pond and Hospital Pond sit just behind the coastal ridge.
