2021 Map of Naushon Island

About this map

Buzzards Bay surrounds the Elizabeth Islands in this detailed topographic study of a coastal landscape. The map emphasizes the isolation and natural composition of the islands, defined by inland water bodies such as Westend Pond and Blaney Pond. A network of unpaved tracks and paths, including Western Hills Path and Rambler Path, provides the primary means of navigation across the interior terrain. On the southern edge of the chain, Quicks Hole Pond sits near the passage between islands, while marine hazards like Felix Ledge are noted just offshore. The scarcity of residential development is reflected in the simple naming of routes like N Main Rd and S Bluff Rd, suggesting a landscape largely preserved for conservation or private seasonal use. This 2021 update documents the current elevation and hydrological state of these unique landforms within Dukes County.
