1977 Map of Onset

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Buzzards Bay and the intricate coastal fingers of the Massachusetts shoreline define this 1977 orthophotoquad. The landscape is dominated by the narrow peninsulas of Sipican Neck and Great Neck, which reach southward into the bay. This aerial perspective, prepared by the Department of the Interior, reveals the concentrated settlement patterns of the late 1970s, particularly around the sheltered waters of Onset and Point Independence.
