2021 Map of Nantucket OE S

About this map

The Atlantic Ocean dominates this coastal survey, reflecting the maritime environment south of Nantucket island. In the extreme northeastern corner of the map, the shoreline appears briefly, showing the presence of Mioxes Pond tucked just behind the beach. This small freshwater feature and the adjacent Somerset Rd provide a narrow window into the island’s southern interface between land and sea. The vast majority of the quadrangle is dedicated to the offshore waters, documenting the bathymetric context and the maritime boundary as it existed during this recent decade. This specific layout highlights the island's vulnerability to coastal processes, where even a small road or pond represents a critical point of human and natural intersection.
