1972 Map of Nantucket

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Nantucket's historic core and the western reaches of the island are documented here just as the late 20th-century tourism era was fully establishing itself. The town’s harbor-front infrastructure is shown in detail, from the Brant Pt Lighthouse and the US Coast Guard Sta to the activity centered around Steamboat Wharf. Inland, the landscape retains its characteristic mix of low-lying wetlands and sandy rises, including named features like Rotten Pumpkin Pond and Trots Swamp.
