About this map

The south-facing shoreline of Nantucket Island takes center stage on this survey, where the Atlantic coast meets a series of glacial valleys and seasonal ponds. Broad coastal stretches including Miacomet Beach, Surfside Beach, and Nobadeer Beach define the land-sea interface, backed by a network of residential roads like S Shore Rd and Pochick Ave. The terrain is marked by a distinctive sequence of topographic depressions running toward the ocean, such as Nobadeer Valley, Madequecham Valley, and Wigwam Valley. Inland, the footprint of the Nantucket Memorial Airport sits adjacent to these natural features, representing the island's primary connection to the mainland. Smaller hydrological features like Weweeder Ponds provide a glimpse into the delicate freshwater ecosystems that persist just behind the primary dunes in this coastal landscape.
