The northern coastline of Martha's Vineyard is defined here by protected coastal ponds and tidal inlets that separate the shoreline from the interior hills. Lake Tashmoo and James Pond sit at the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, while the interior landscape is marked by glacial kettle ponds like Seths Pond and Duarte Ponds. The presence of several historic burial grounds, including the West Tisbury Village Cem and the Christiantown Memorial Cem, points to the long-standing settlement of the area. This 2018 survey reveals a network of ancient ways and modern roads such as Lamberts Cove Rd and Christiantown Rd that connect the coastal beaches at North Shore Beach and Lamberts Cove Beach to the interior wetlands of Great Swamp and the waterways of Mill Brook and Paint Mill Brook.
