About this map

Gay Head Cliffs and the iconic Gay Head Lighthouse anchor this coastal survey, which depicts the southwestern tip of Martha's Vineyard before modern development altered the island's rural character. The landscape is defined by its maritime heritage and the cultural presence of the Wampanoag, indicated by the Indian Burying Ground near Gay Head. Local life centers around fishing and farming, with settlements like Menemsha and Lobsterville connected by a network of winding roads such as Moshup Trail and Lighthouse Road.
