2024 Map of Nantasket Beach

USGS Topo · Published 2024

About this map

Hull and Nantasket Beach dominate this coastal landscape, where the narrow peninsula stretches toward the hazardous waters of the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area. The map reveals a densely settled corridor along Nantasket Ave, punctuated by significant coastal heights like Sagamore Hill, Hampton Hill, and Atlantic Hill. Inland, the settlement of North Cohasset sits near the tranquil Straits Pond and the Little Harbor Reservoir, illustrating the fine-grained residential development of the South Shore. Maritime navigation is a central theme, with the sea floor defined by countless hazards including Harding Ledge, Boston Ledge, and The Graves. Genealogists will find the Canterbury Street Cem near the southern boundary, while local historians can trace the evolution of old thoroughfares such as Jerusalem Rd and George Washington Blvd as they connect these historic seaside communities.
