1941 Map of Cotuit

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

Mashpee and the surrounding villages of Barnstable reveal a coastline shaped by kettle ponds and intricate saltwater inlets just before the mid-century. The landscape is defined by the transition from the freshwater depths of Mashpee Pond and Santuit Pond to the tidal reaches of Cotuit Bay and Popponesset Bay. Inland, the map documents a community deeply rooted in its heritage, centered on the Old Indian School and settlements like Marstons Mills. Cultural and recreational development is visible in the emergence of the Cotuit Golf Course and the prestigious Grand Island Oyster Harbors. Road networks such as Quinaquisset Road and Falmouth Road connect these coastal hamlets, while numerous cemeteries like Moss Wood Cem offer significant data points for genealogical research in this historic corner of Cape Cod.
