1977 Map of Squibnocket

About this map

Marthas Vineyard occupies the upper half of this 1977 orthophotoquad, showcasing the westernmost reach of the island as it appeared in the late seventies. The aerial imagery provides a direct view of the land-use patterns across Chilmark and Gay Head, revealing the dense vegetation, coastal ponds, and scattered settlement structures of the era. The shoreline is particularly well-defined, from the narrow spit at Menemsha to the expansive Squibnocket Pond and the southern coast facing the Atlantic Ocean.
