About this map

Siasconset and the eastern reaches of Nantucket appear here in the early 1970s, showcasing a landscape defined by its maritime heritage and specialized agriculture. The map detail highlights the traditional Cranberry Bog operations that once characterized the island's interior, alongside significant coastal landmarks like the Sankaty Head lighthouse and the Coast Guard Sta. A complex network of historic routes, including Milestone Road and the Bicycle Path, connects the seaside settlements of Wauwinet and Quidnet with the more developed Nantucket Memorial Airport to the south.
