1893 Map of Chatham

USGS Topo · Published 1942

About this map

Chatham and the surrounding coastal reaches of Cape Cod are documented here in a detailed survey compiled by the Geological Survey and U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. This coastal environment is defined by its maritime safety infrastructure, including the Chatham Lights and the Monomoy Point Light House, as well as offshore markers like the Pollock Rip Light Ship. The settlement pattern centers on the village of Chatham and smaller outposts at North Chatham and Chatham Port. The map reveals an intricate network of waterways such as Pleasant Bay, Stage Harbor, and Chatham Harbor, protected from the Atlantic Ocean by the narrow barrier of Nauset Beach. The long, southward-reaching peninsula of Monomoy Island provides a look at this shifting coastline before twentieth-century changes altered the inlets and shoals.
