1893 Map of Barnstable

USGS Topo · Published 1922

About this map

The Great Marshes dominate the northern shoreline of this late 19th-century survey, stretching between Scorton Neck and Sandy Neck to protect Barnstable Harbor. The landscape is a complex network of coastal wetlands and tidal inlets like Scorton Creek and Spring Creek, which provided essential salt hay and maritime access for early settlers. Inland, the map reveals a distribution of small villages and family-named localities such as Marstons Mills, Pondsville, and Farmersville, often established near the numerous freshwater ponds that dot the interior.
