1893 Map of Chatham

USGS Topo · Published 1934

About this map

Monomoy Island stretches southward into the Atlantic Ocean in this late 19th-century survey of the Lower Cape. The maritime infrastructure of the era is remarkably dense, featuring land-based beacons like Chatham Lights and the Monomoy Point Light House, alongside offshore anchors like the Pollock Rip Light Ship. These aids to navigation guarded the complex waters of Chatham Harbor and Stage Harbor, where shifting sands and shoals defined the local economy and coastal safety.
