1944 Map of Naushon Island

USGS Topo · Published 1946

About this map

The Elizabeth Islands separate the choppy waters of Buzzards Bay from the steady currents of Vineyard Sound in this mid-century survey. Focusing on the private, unbridged landscape of Naushon, the map details a world of coastal isolation characterized by dense stands of Ramshead Woods and Black Woods. Navigational importance is centered at the Tarpaulin Cove Lighthouse, which has long served mariners seeking refuge in Tarpaulin Cove.
