2018 Map of Squibnocket

About this map

Gay Head Cliffs and the western reaches of Martha's Vineyard define this coastal landscape, where the island's unique geology meets the Atlantic Ocean. The settlement pattern is characterized by winding local roads like Moshup Trl and Old South Rd, serving a community centered near Gayhead Cem and the prominent headland. Large coastal water bodies, including Menemsha Pond and Squibnocket Pond, are separated from the sea by narrow strips of land and the extensive Squibnocket Marshes. This environment is shaped by both its natural features, such as Devils Bridge and Lone Rock, and preserved public spaces like Lobsterville Beach and the Menemsha Hills Reservation Beach. The interior is dotted with smaller water features like Occooch Pond and Cooks Springs, reflecting the complex drainage of the island's terminal moraine topography.
