1977 Map of Tisbury Great Pond

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Marthas Vineyard is seen here through high-altitude aerial photography captured in 1977, revealing the intricate coastal morphology of the island's southern shore. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling brackish waters of Tisbury Great Pond, which is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a narrow barrier beach. This orthophotograph, published by the Geological Survey in coordination with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Public Works, provides a clear view of land use and vegetation patterns during the late 1970s. Key local landmarks and traditional sites such as Quansoo, Tississa, and Nabs Corner are labeled, anchoring the photographic detail to the named geography of the region. The map highlights the interplay of narrow inlets and coastal plains that characterize this part of Dukes County.
