1893 Map of Barnstable

USGS Topo · Published 1898

About this map

Barnstable and the surrounding coastline of Cape Cod appear here in the late nineteenth century, defined by a complex network of coastal marshes, harbors, and inland kettle ponds. The Old Colony Railroad Cape Cod Branch cuts through the northern landscape, connecting Sandwich and Yarmouth Port with stops at East Sandwich Station and West Barnstable Station. This infrastructure supported a growing seasonal economy alongside traditional maritime and agricultural activities, as seen in the cluster of coastal villages like Osterville, Cotuit, and Hyannis.
