1972 Map of Nantucket

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Nantucket serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the dense grid of streets like Main St and Orange St meets the maritime infrastructure of Nantucket Harbor. The map reveals a community deeply tied to its seafaring roots, anchored by Brant Pt Lighthouse and the U S Coast Guard Sta. Away from the town center, the landscape transitions into a series of ponds and swamps, such as Hummock Pond and Millbrook Swamp, while family names are preserved in landmarks like Swain Hill and the Old Settlers Graves.
