1943 Map of Chatham

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Chatham Lighthouse and Stage Harbor Lighthouse guard the complex coastline of the Lower Cape in this early 1940s survey. The landscape is defined by its intimate connection to the sea, where Pleasant Bay and Nantucket Sound are separated by the fragile, shifting sands of Monomoy Island. Inland, the map reveals a dense network of freshwater kettle ponds such as Lovers Lake, Schoolhouse Pond, and the curiously named Uncle Israels Pond, illustrating the glacial legacy of the peninsula.
