1951 Map of Nantucket

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

Nantucket serves as the dense hub of this 1951 revision, where a intricate network of streets including Pleasant St and Hulbert Avenue radiate from the harbor. Beyond the town center, the island's interior reveals a landscape of extensive moorlands and swamps, such as Millbrook Swamp and Larraby Swamp, interspersed with numerous coastal ponds like Long Pond and Miacomet Pond. This map details the island before the significant mid-century shifts in development, capturing established landmarks like the Cyrus Pierce Sch and several historic burial grounds, including the Old North Cem and Friends Cem. The western reach is defined by the small settlement of Maddaket and the long, sweeping curve of Maddaket Harbor, while the southern shore is punctuated by the isolated outpost at Surfside.
