2018 Map of Siasconset

About this map

Nantucket serves as the focal point of this coastal survey, where the town's dense residential grid meets the expansive shoreline of the Atlantic Ocean. The landscape is defined by its maritime infrastructure and a high concentration of historical interment sites, including the Old North Cem, New North Cem, and the Friends Burial Ground. Beyond the settled area, the geography transitions into a series of interior wetlands and ponds such as Gibbs Pond and the Wigwam Ponds, illustrating the complex hydrology of the island. Notable landmarks like the Nantucket Memorial Airport and Altar Rock provide terrestrial reference points, while the Nantucket - Hyannis Ferry and Oak Bluffs - Nantucket Ferry routes trace the vital sea links that connect this community to the mainland.
