1944 Map of Naushon Island

USGS Topo · Published 1944

About this map

The Elizabeth Islands chain is depicted in this 1941 survey, highlighting the distinct maritime geography of Naushon Island and Pasque Island between Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound. This wartime-era study documents a landscape largely defined by its natural topography and coastal features, with landmark elevations such as Mt Surat and Mt Cary rising above the wooded interiors of Ramshead Woods and Black Woods. Navigational safety is represented by the Tarpaulin Cove Lighthouse, which overlooks one of the few protected anchorages along the southern coast.
