1888 Map of Chatham

USGS Topo · Published 1888

About this map

The maritime landscape of the lower Cape is defined by the shifting sands of Nauset Beach and the narrow reach of Monomoy Island in this late 19th-century survey. Focusing on Chatham and Orleans, the map highlights a world shaped by the sea, where critical navigational aids like Chatham Lights and the Monomoy Point Light House guide mariners past treacherous shoals. The interior reveals a complex network of coastal inlets and ponds, including Oyster Pond and Mill Pond, which provided the foundations for the area's early economy.
