About this map

Westend Pond and Blaney Pond anchor the interior of this coastal Elizabeth Islands landscape, situated between Buzzards Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The island terrain is defined by a network of narrow trails and private thoroughfares, including Pond Path, Western Hills Path, and Rambler Path, which navigate the elevations and pond-side flats.

A distinct geographic separation is visible at Quicks Hole Pond, where the land fractures into smaller coastal segments. Isolated features like Felix Ledge and the descriptively named Gap In The Wall Rd illustrate the specific local vernacular of this Dukes County archipelago. The map reveals a place dominated by maritime boundaries and a lack of modern arterial development, preserving a traditional island layout of small roads like Memory Ln and Kettle Cove Rd.
