About this map

The Gay Head Cliffs and the township of Aquinnah anchor this coastal survey of Martha's Vineyard's westernmost tip. The landscape is defined by its series of significant saltwater and freshwater bodies, including the expansive Menemsha Pond, Squibnocket Pond, and the smaller Occooch Pond. Road networks such as Moshup Trl and Lighthouse Rd provide the primary arteries through the varied terrain, which transitions from high coastal bluffs to low-lying marshes and sandy shores.

Maritime hazards and landmarks are clearly indicated, with the Devils Bridge reef extending into Vineyard Sound and the isolated Lone Rock visible offshore in the Atlantic Ocean. Local settlements like Lobsterville and the residential enclaves at Squibnocket are connected by a web of narrow ways, including Tar Barrel Rd and Blacksmith Valley Rd, reflecting the modern development and preservation efforts seen at Menemsha Hills Reservation Beach.
