1962 Map of Sconticut Neck

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

Sconticut Neck and West Island dominate this coastal survey, linked by a thin Causeway that bridges the waters of Nasketucket Bay. The map captures a maritime landscape defined by shifting shoals and rocky hazards, including Angelica Rock, Whale Rock, and the Cormorant Rock Beacon. Inland, a dense grid of residential streets appears on the western shore of West Island, while the mainland portion of the neck remains more sparsely developed, centered along a primary north-south Road. To the east, the waters of Mattapoisett reveal numerous maritime landmarks like Brant Island and Mattapoisett Ledge. This 1962 revision provides a detailed view of the coastal interface before modern development expanded, showing the original footprints of local landmarks like Silver Shell Beach and the various islands and ledges that defined the hazardous approach to this portion of Buzzards Bay.
