Well done!
- at the/ on the marsh: I would probably say "in the marshlands", i.e., the lowlands at the North Sea coast
- Pr., Schlesw.-Holst. = Prussia, [province of] Schleswig-Holstein
- 2740 E. = 2740 Einwohner (inhabitants)
- P, E : Post and Railway station with telegraph on the Husum - Lindholm line
- StrandA = Strandamt (Beach/coast office)
- Bnmeist = Bahnmeisterei (Railroad maintenance workshop)
- lw. Winter-, Höh. Mädchen-, FortbildSch = landwirtschaftliche Winter-, Höhere Mädchen-, Fortbildungsschule (Agricultural winter school, secondary school for girls, advanced training school)
- Holst. BkFil., KredVer., SpDrl. = Holsteinische Bankfiliale, Kreditverein, Spar- und Darlehenskasse (Holstein bank branch, credit association, savings and loan association)
- Kram-, Pferde-, Viehmärkte = Stuff, horse and cattle markets
- Geldschrank-, Zigarren.-, Kunststeinfbr = factories for safes, cigars, artificial stones
- Mln. = Mühlen (mills)
- Hrgr = Häusergruppe (group of houses, hamlet). "Feldmark" is the open field outside of the city (Bredstedterfeld https://www.meyersgaz.org/place/10230053), "Schützenhof" (shooters yard) is probably a single farm. The numbers give the inhabitants (E = Einwohner).

Thank you once again for filling in the blanks! Resource tips were very helpful, so thank you both. I have noticed on the Meyers Gazetteer map that there are numbers throughout. Is there a key to what those numbers might stand for?

The numbers you are probably referring to are the elevation above sea level in meters.

The small number ("27") is the altitude. I don't know what the circled numbers ("14") are. They are not mentioned in the legend of the map ; they do not seem to be present in all German areas.
