About this map

Gay Head and Chilmark anchor this coastal survey, which captures the western edge of Martha's Vineyard during the early 1940s. The landscape is defined by its dramatic glacial topography, featuring high points like Peaked Hill and Prospect Hill overlooking a complex network of coastal ponds. The maritime character of the region is evident in the cluster of fishing and farming settlements including Lobsterville, Menemsha, and Nashaquitsa. At the island's westernmost tip, the Gay Head Lighthouse stands sentinel over Vineyard Sound and the Atlantic Ocean.
