1977 Map of Monomoy Point

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Monomoy Island stretches southward into the shifting waters of the Atlantic Ocean in this late-1970s orthophotoquad. Produced by the Geological Survey and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Public Works, the imagery provides a distinct visual record of the island's coastal morphology before major weather events altered its structure. The landform terminates at Monomoy Point, a hook-shaped sandy spit that separates the open ocean from the calmer Nantucket Sound to the west. This specific format, an orthophotograph, offers a photographic rather than illustrated view of the sandbars, tidal flats, and vegetation patterns that defined this dynamic Cape Cod environment during the spring of 1977.
