1893 Map of Falmouth

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

The Woods Hole Branch of Old Colony Railroad serves as the backbone of this coastal survey, connecting the mainland to the busy maritime hubs of Woods Hole and Falmouth Station. At the close of the nineteenth century, the landscape is defined by its complex shoreline of necks, points, and harbors, protected by vital navigational aids like Wing's Neck Light and Nobska Point Light. Inland, the terrain is pocketed with dozens of kettle ponds, including Coonamesset Pond and Deep Pond, illustrating the glacial origins of the Upper Cape.
