2018 Map of Siasconset OE E

About this map

Siasconset anchors the southeastern coast of Nantucket on this coastal survey, where the Atlantic shoreline meets a complex landscape of freshwater features and maritime landmarks. The area is defined by significant water bodies such as Sesachacha Pond and Squam Pond, separated from the ocean by narrow strips of land. Inland, the terrain transitions into ecologically distinct areas like Squam Swamp and Tom Nevers Swamp, reflecting the island's unique hydrography. The residential patterns of Siasconset are visible through a dense network of local ways including Ocean Ave, Burnell St, and Baxter Rd, which follows the high bluffs. Offshore, the submarine topography is marked by Bass Rip, a notable navigational feature in the Atlantic Ocean.
