1893 Map of Nantucket

USGS Topo · Published 1898

About this map

Nantucket Railroad tracks trace a vital nineteenth-century corridor across the island, connecting the main settlement of Nantucket with the burgeoning summer retreats at Surfside and Siasconsett. This coastal landscape is defined by its maritime infrastructure, featuring the Nantucket Cliff Beacons, Brant Point Lt., and the isolated Nantucket Lt. at Great Point. The island's interior reveals a complex topography of glacial moraine features like the Shawkemo Hills and Altar Rock Hills, interspersed with numerous ponds such as Gibbs Pond and the expansive Sachacha Pond.
