About this map

Woods Hole Branch of Old Colony Railroad defines the transportation corridor of this late-19th-century coastal landscape, connecting the mainland to the busy maritime hub at Woods Hole. The map documents the area during a period of transition as traditional fishing and farming settlements like Waquoit Village and Hatchville existed alongside burgeoning seasonal destinations. Coastal navigation was essential to the region's economy, as evidenced by the strategic placement of Bird Island Light, Wing's Neck Light, and Nobska Point Light.
