2012 Map of Monomoy Point OE W
USGS Topo · Published 2012About this map
Monomoy Point stands at the eastern edge of this coastal survey, where the shifting sands of the Cape Cod peninsula meet the open Atlantic Ocean. The map documents a maritime landscape defined by hazardous underwater features such as Rodgers Shoal, Handkerchief Shoal, and Shovelful Shoal, which have long influenced navigation in these waters. Near the point itself, the interplay of land and sea is evident in features like Big Station Pond and the sheltered Powder Hole. This 2012 record captures the specialized topography of a dynamic barrier beach system, including the narrow Beach Channel that provides passage through the shoals. It is a focused study of a fragile littoral environment where the shoreline is in constant flux against the surrounding shoals.
