Survey across the Isthmus of Cape Cod State of Massachusetts and Town of Sandwich of a proposed canal between Buzzards and Barnstable Bays
Visual Materials
No old shelf mark. The canal was not constructed at the time, and was proposed again by the Massachusetts Legislature in 1860 ("Report of the Joint Special Committee on the subject of a ship canal connecting Buzzard's Bay and Barnstable Bay." Available from Google Books, http://books.google.com/books?id=0aYrAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA6&dq=barnstable+bay&hl=en&ei=ZPAgTOn7OoK7nAe5ud1_&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCkQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q&f=false accessed June 22, 2010). The canal was finally constructed in the 20th century, with construction completed in 1914. Barnstable Bay appeared on 18th, 19th, and early 20th century maps of Cape Cod and Massachusetts: it appears to have referred to the southern third of Cape Cod Bay, the area it covered receding over time until it was covered only the water immediately north of Barnstable. Submaps: Long Pond to Herring Pond; Profile of the proposed route. Prime meridian: GM. Relief: hachures. Graphic Scale: Yards. Projection: Plane. Printing Process: Lithography.
