Vineyard Sound and the Atlantic Ocean frame the north and west of this coastal Martha’s Vineyard landscape, where freshwater and saltwater ecosystems meet. The interior is defined by a complex drainage system, including the southward flow of Mill Brook through Old Millpond and several smaller basins like Priester Pond and Fisher Pond before reaching Tisbury Great Pond. Settlement patterns are visible in the clusters at Makonikey, Longview, and Christian Town, the latter of which serves as a poignant reminder of local heritage with the Christiantown Memorial Cem. Further south, the West-Tisbury Village Cem marks the northern edge of West Tisbury's developed areas. The map details a web of coastal access points such as Lamberts Cove and North Shore Beach, while the Martha's Vineyard Fast Fry ferry route establishes the modern connection to the mainland across the sound.
