2012 Map of Nantasket Beach

About this map

Nantasket Beach and the rugged coastline of North Cohasset dominate this 2012 survey, illustrating the complex relationship between land and the Atlantic Ocean. The geography is defined by a dense archipelago of hazards and navigational aids, including the distant The Graves Light and the historic Minots Ledge Light. Inland, the map reveals established residential corridors along George Washington Blvd and Atlantic Ave, bordering natural features like Straits Pond and the Little Harbor Reservoir. The mapping of the Boston - Gloucester Ferry Crossing and the Boston - Provincetown Ferry Crossing highlights the enduring importance of maritime transit routes. From the heights of Sagamore Hill to the sands of Kenberma, the layout of coastal settlements and rocky outcroppings like Gun Rock provides a detailed view of this South Shore landscape in the early 21st century.
