2021 Map of Tuckernuck Island

About this map

The maritime passage of the Oak Bluffs - Nantucket Ferry defines the waterscape between the coastal counties of Dukes and Nantucket. This 2021 survey of the Atlantic shoreline captures a low-lying archipelago where the land is in constant dialogue with the tide. On the eastern edge of the map, the northern tip of an island reveals North Pond, a protected body of water separated from the open Atlantic Ocean by thin barrier beaches. Navigation hazards and submerged features dominate the surrounding waters, including the rocky outcrops of Muskeget Rock and the shallow reaches of Bass Ledge and Tuckernuck Bank. The map provides a precise look at the shifting coastal topography and the established ferry routes that connect these offshore communities.
