An unusual feature of this colorful and attractively presented real-estate plan is the circular diagram in the center of the map , which indicates points of interest that can be viewed from the Tashmoo Observatory . The diagram also functions as a compass . The plan subdivides West Chop into 188 building lots of various dimensions . Apparently , the scheme to sell those lots was unsuccessful : this part of Martha’s Vineyard remains relatively undeveloped .
