1972 Map of Tisbury Great Pond

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

The south shore of Marthas Vineyard is defined here by the intricate finger-like coves and coastal ponds of Chilmark, West Tisbury, and Edgartown. At the center of the sheet lies the expansive Tisbury Great Pond, fed by the Tiasquam R and the Middle Tiasquam River. The landscape transitions from the higher Ridge elevations in the west to the low-lying glacial outwash plain of Scrubby Neck. Small settlements and named corners like Quansoo and Nabs Corner are sparse, reflecting the rural and seasonal nature of the island in the early 1970s. Numerous narrow water bodies such as Deep Bottom Cove, Tiah Cove, and Pear Tree Cove reach northward from the sea, creating a highly fragmented shoreline that has historically influenced local travel and land use.
