This simple map covers eastern Massachusetts, with the most detail shown in Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket, which makes sense given that it was published by the town of Nantucket. Outside of the islands, detail is confined to cities and transportation routes. Boston, Attleboro, Fall River, Taunton, Buzzards Bay, Chatham, and Provincetown are named, and the map extends to include Newport and Providence as well. Steamboat routes and lighthouses are identified. Map folds into back cover of 16-page booklet with information on, and black & white photos of, Nantucket (4.2 x 8.1").
