Tuckernuck Island and the neighboring Muskeget Island appear in this survey of a shifting coastal landscape west of Nantucket. The map reveals the intricate network of roads on the eastern end of Tuckernuck Island, encircling North Pond and stretching toward the narrow sands of Smith Point. To the west, the tiny Muskeget Island Airport is noted on its namesake landmass, surrounded by the shoals of Bass Ledge and Muskeget Rock. This 2012 snapshot captures the fragile relationship between the Atlantic Ocean and these low-lying landforms, highlighting the complex underwater topography of Tuckernuck Bank that defines the navigation in these waters.
