1975 Map of Sconticut Neck

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Sconticut Neck extends into the coastal waters of Buzzards Bay, serving as a narrow finger of land that separates Nasketucket Bay from the open sea. This mid-1970s survey captures the residential and recreational layout of the Fairhaven coast, where Sconticut Neck Road provides the primary spine for local access. The landscape is defined by its relationship with the water, featuring a slender Causeway that links the mainland to West Island, a community crisscrossed by West Island Street and dotted with small ponds like Long Pond. The map reveals an intricate marine environment, marked by numerous hazards and landmarks such as Cormorant Rock Beacon and Black Rock Beacon. These features, along with named outcrops like Old Kelick Rock and Puppy Rocks, highlight the navigational complexity of the Massachusetts shoreline during this period of coastal development.
