Excerpt from Catalogue of the Flora of "Oak Island," Revere, Massachusetts: With Notes Oak island, or Chelsea Beach Island, as it was called before North Chelsea was rechristened Revere, is a Slight elevation of land, covered with trees, hardly reaching more than three or four feet above the surround in'g saltmarsh, within the limits of the town of Revere, Massachusetts, and just a few rods beyond the inlet which separates that town from the town of Saugus in Essex County. The island begins at about 800 feet back from what is now called Revere beach, with a strip of land running north and south feet, having a breadth of 100 feet which is connected with the larger portion of the island which runs east and west some feet, and has a breadth of 800 feet. This latter portion is divided into two unequal parts by the Eastern Railway which runs through it north and south. The Salem and Boston turn pike road runs by the island to the west at a distance of about a quarter of a mile. Formerly this station was only accessible to pedestrians and to the salt hay teams by a rough road from the beach.
