1977 Map of Naushon Island

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Naushon Island and the southwestern reach of the Elizabeth Islands appear here as captured by aerial photography in the late 1970s. This orthophotoquad provides a clear view of the coastal morphology between Buzzards Bay and Vineyard Sound, documenting the shoreline and vegetation patterns of this isolated chain. Notable landmarks include the prominent Mt Surat and the sheltered Westend Pond on the western end of the main island. To the southwest, Pasque Island is visible across the narrow channel, while the northwestern edge of Marthas Vineyard occupies the lower right corner of the sheet. The absence of roads and modern development in this view highlights the preservation of the landscape during this era, serving as a baseline for coastal researchers and local historians.
