2015 Map of Cotuit

About this map

Barnstable Town and the neighboring coastal communities of Mashpee Neck and Popponesset characterize this 2015 survey of the Cape Cod shoreline. The landscape is defined by its intricate water systems, where the Mashpee River feeds into the Atlantic Ocean and numerous small bodies of water like Rushy Marsh Pond, Lewis Pond, and Witch Pond dot the residential landscape. The map reveals the modern development of coastal neighborhoods, showing the complex road networks of New Seabury and Seabrook reaching toward the Vineyard Sound. Off the coast, the topography extends underwater to include hazards and navigational markers such as Succonnesset Shoal and Eldridge Shoal. This geographic layout highlights the delicate balance between the area's dense residential expansion and its tidal wetlands and protected coves like Anns Cove.
