1901 Map of Nantucket

USGS Topo · Published 1901

About this map

The town of Nantucket serves as the hub of this 1901 survey, which captures the island before the modern era of heavy tourism and development. A striking feature of the early 20th-century landscape is the Nantucket Central R. R., a narrow-gauge line stretching from the main harbor south to Surfside and eastward to the village of Siasconset. This rail connection highlights the island's burgeoning role as a seasonal retreat during the Gilded Age.
