This map from 1885 shows Onset Bay Grove in Wareham, Massachusetts and the surrounding areas. The map was created by Oscar Walker and printed by George H. Walker & Co. The map has been restored to its original condition by KNOWOL. High resolution reproductions are available here.
The map shows a bird’s eye view of Wareham including landmarks such as Wicket Island, the Metropolitan House, Hotel Brockton, Bay View Cafe and the first cottage built at Onset. There’s also a “Medium’s Home” listed on the map, so apparently Wareham citizens were quite superstitious.
