About this map

Monomoy Island stretches southward into the Atlantic Ocean in this coastal study revised by the Massachusetts Commission on Waterways and Public Lands. The geography is defined by its maritime infrastructure, featuring the Monomoy Point Light House, Chatham Lights, and Harding Beach Light, alongside anchored vessels like the Pollock Rip Light Ship. The mainland settlements of Chatham, North Chatham, and Chatham Port are clustered around intricate waterways such as Pleasant Bay, Chatham Harbor, and Stage Harbor. The terrestrial landscape includes Nickersons Neck and Nauset Beach, providing a view of the Cape's eastern elbow before modern coastal erosion and sediment shifts significantly altered these landforms. Transportation is anchored by the Chatham Br. railroad line, terminating at a Sta. near the village center.
