1974 Map of Monomoy Point

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Monomoy Point stands at the southern tip of a dynamic coastal barrier, largely encompassed by the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge. This mid-1970s topographical record captures the fragile geography of the peninsula, which separates the Nantucket Sound from the Atlantic Ocean. The landscape is dominated by shifting Barrier Dunes and expansive tidal flats, with interior freshwater and salt marshes like Lighthouse Marsh and Station Pond Marsh providing critical habitat. A notable landmark of maritime history is the Lighthouse (Abandoned) near the southern hook, a silent indicator of the area's navigational importance before automation and environmental shifts changed the coast. Small water bodies like Hospital Pond and Big Station Pond dot the interior, while the deep waters of Butler Hole lie just offshore, marking the transition into the open sea.
