Map showing the distribution of physiographic zones within Vineyard and western Nantucket sounds. The physiographic zone classification is adapted from Kelley and others (1998), and the zones are delineated on the basis of sea-floor morphology and the dominant texture of surficial material.


Figure 19. Map showing the distribution of physiographic zones within Vineyard and western Nantucket Sounds. The physiographic zone classification is adapted from Kelley and others (1998), and the zones are delineated on the basis of sea-floor morphology and the dominant texture of surficial material. The bathymetric hillshade relief map underlying the sediment texture layer is derived from the composite bathymetry in figure 3.
