1951 Map of Vineyard Haven

About this map

The maritime gateway of Vineyard Haven and the northern reaches of Martha's Vineyard are captured here in a period of mid-century coastal character. From the prominent West Chop Lighthouse guarding the entrance to Vineyard Haven Harbor, the map reveals a landscape defined by glacial ponds and narrow coastal inlets like Lake Tashmoo and Lamberts Cove. Further inland, the map transitions to the open spaces of the Martha's Vineyard State Forest and the early layout of the Martha's Vineyard Airport.
