1945 Map of Nantucket

About this map

Nantucket town sits as the primary hub of activity on this mid-century coastal survey, its dense grid of streets like Orange St and Pleasant St leading toward the busy docks of Nantucket Harbor. The surrounding landscape is dominated by a complex network of glacial ponds and wetlands, from the expansive Hummock Pond and Long Pond to the curiously named Rotten Pumpkin Pond. This period captures the island's transition as old roads like Maddaket Road connect the main town to smaller outposts like Maddaket and Warren Landing.
