2021 Map of Monomoy Point OE W

About this map

Shovelful Shoal and the shifting coastal waters of Barnstable County define this maritime landscape at the southernmost reaches of the Cape. The map captures a dynamic intersection of land and sea, where the secluded waters of Powder Hole are tucked behind protective dunes. This area, largely defined by its aquatic environment, shows the intricate wetlands of Station Pond Marsh and the open expanse of Big Station Pond. Because the terrain is primarily shaped by tides and shoals rather than permanent roads or settlements, it offers a distinct view of the natural coastal evolution of Massachusetts. The lack of inland development emphasizes the area's role as a navigational waypoint and a significant ecological site within the Atlantic coastal system.
