From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bassetts Island is a propeller-shaped island within Pocasset Harbor and Red Brook Harbor, in Bourne, Massachusetts, USA.

The island is geographically separated into four portions of the island. These portions are the central, northeast, southeast, and the western portion. The island is inhabited (perhaps only seasonally); there is one house on the western portion and three houses on the northeast portion. Also, there is a minor unpaved road that runs throughout the island, except for most of its southern portion.

[edit] Portions

[edit] Central

The central portion of the island is perhaps the most forested area on the island. Also, there are two small inland ponds on the central portion which connect with Red Brook Harbor.

[edit] Northeast

The northeast portion of the island is moderately forested. There is a small inland pond that may be disconnected with the waters surrounding the exterior of the island. Also, there are several buildings, possibly residential, spread out along the northeast portion.

[edit] Southeast

The southeast portion is the least forested portion of the island. Half of the portion is composed of possible marshy land. Although, the southeast portion has the sandiest coastline on the island. There doesn't appear to be any buildings and/or man-made structures on this portion of the island.

[edit] West

The western portion of the island is the second least forested portion of the island. Also, the western portion is the widest and shortest arm of the island. There is some marshy land found on the eastern side, extending towards the center of the arm. On the western side of the western portion are several buildings, a tennis court and a possible pier.
