About this map

The Atlantic Ocean dominates this maritime survey, which charts the open waters and jurisdictional boundaries off the coast of Massachusetts. A significant portion of the sheet is dedicated to the expanse of the sea, highlighting the aquatic environment that defines the region. Along the eastern edge of the map, a small portion of the Cape Cod National Seashore is visible, representing the edge of protected coastal lands.

A primary feature of this 2021 survey is the offshore boundary line between Plymouth Co and Barnstable Co. This administrative line cuts across the ocean waters, showing the legal extension of county jurisdictions into the sea. The map captures a transition point where the Massachusetts coastline meets the open Atlantic, serving as a modern record of coastal boundaries and federally protected maritime areas.
