Tuckernuck Island and Muskeget Island anchor this coastal survey, where the shifting sands of the Atlantic meet Nantucket Sound. The landscape is dominated by low-lying maritime environments, featuring the interior North Pond on Tuckernuck and a series of surrounding shoals and hazards including Bass Ledge and Muskeget Rock. The isolation of these landmasses is emphasized by the expansive open water and the long transit of the Oak Bluffs - Nantucket Ferry crossing the northern section of the sheet. Tracing the boundary between Dukes Co and Nantucket Co, the map reveals the complex hydrography of the Tuckernuck Bank, illustrating how the sea constantly reshapes the outer edges of the Massachusetts coast.
