About this map

Buzzards Bay dominates the western shoreline of this 1920 military survey, which documents the maritime and rail-connected landscape of Falmouth and its surrounding villages. The arrival of the Woods Hole Branch of Old Colony RR shaped the early 20th-century development of the region, terminating at Woods Hole and serving key stops like Falmouth Station. Along the intricate coastline, crucial navigation aids such as Bird Island Light, Wing's Neck Light, and Nobska Point Light highlight the era's reliance on lighthouse infrastructure for safe passage through local harbors.
