About This Historic Map

Drawn from an elevated bird's-eye perspective, this map presents Woods Holl in the 1880s, when the area was shaped by its working harbor, coastal shipping, fishing, and seaside village life. The overall view sweeps across the peninsula, showing clustered homes, tree-lined roads winding over gentle hills, and busy waters dotted with sailing vessels and a smoking steamer.

The map traces the wharves and docks that lined the waterfront, the tidy village streets of Woods Holl in Falmouth, and the small wooded islands set just off the shore, along with many of the historic roads and buildings that shaped life around the harbor in the 1880s.

For anyone who has walked the docks at Woods Hole, watched the ferries come and go, or spent summers along this stretch of Cape Cod, this map is more than a historic view. It captures the harbor traffic, the steamer trailing smoke, and the small green islands offshore, and the memories that keep families connected to Woods Holl.
