1972 Map of Nantucket

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Nantucket town serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the dense grid of streets like Main St and Orange St meets the maritime activity of Nantucket Harbor. The map reveals the island's mid-century landscape, characterized by numerous coastal ponds such as Hummock Pond and Miacomet Pond, and the rolling terrain of Trots Hills. Landmarks including the Lighthouse at Brant Pt and the busy Steamboat Wharf anchor the harbor entrance, while inland areas show a mix of conservation and development, from the Nantucket State Forest to the expanding settlements at Surfside and Cisco.
