1893 Map of Muskeget

USGS Topo · Published 1893

About this map

Tuckernuck Id. and Muskeget Id. sit at the western approach to the island, captured here as they appeared in the late nineteenth century. This coastal survey detail highlights the intricate shorelines and tidal systems before modern changes, specifically the northwestern tip of Nantucket Island near Eel Point. The map provides an exacting record of the hydrologic features on Tuckernuck Id., including North Pond and East Pond, alongside the network of waterways feeding into Maddequet Harbor. Maritime researchers can trace the series of small creeks such as Hither Cr., Broad Cr., and Narrow Cr. that defined the marshes of this era. Published under the direction of J.W. Powell, the sheet documents the interface where Nantucket Sound meets the Atlantic Ocean.
