2015 Map of Chatham

About this map

Chatham sits at the distinct elbow of Cape Cod, where the complex coastline meets the Atlantic Ocean. This maritime landscape is defined by its numerous coastal ponds and protected harbors, including Oyster Pond, Mill Pond, and Ryder Cove. The map detail shows the intricate barrier beach system of the Cape Cod National Seashore, protecting inland features like Tern Island and Strong Island. For local historians, the area is rich with established sites such as the Old Burying Ground, Union Cem, and Seaside Cem. The settlement pattern reflects centuries of coastal living, concentrated in Chatham Port, North Chatham, and West Chatham. The presence of the Chatham Municipal Airport and the Post Office highlights the town's role as a regional hub, while the southern reaches like North Monomoy Island and Morris Island emphasize the dynamic, shifting nature of the Massachusetts shore.
