1899 Map of Muskeget
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The remote barrier islands and shoals of Nantucket Sound are defined here by shifting sands and maritime hazards. In this late nineteenth-century reconnaissance, Muskeget Id. and the adjacent Gravel Islands appear as isolated outposts between the mainland and the Atlantic Ocean. The presence of an L.S.S. (Life-Saving Station) on Muskeget and the Cross Rip Shoal Light Ship to the north underscores the treacherous nature of these waters for coastal shipping.
