1943 Map of Cotuit

About this map

Mashpee and the village of Cotuit define this coastal landscape at the start of the 1940s, where the intricate shoreline of Nantucket Sound meets a network of freshwater kettle ponds. The boundary between Mashpee and Barnstable runs through the center of the sheet, separating the residential clusters of Marstons Mills and Osterville from the more open lands to the west. This era shows the developed estates of Grand Island Oyster Harbors and the waterfront community at Wianno, indicating the area's established role as a summer destination. Inland, the importance of local recreation and community is evident at the Santuit Golf Course and Camp Cotuit. Transportation is anchored by the crossing at Pine Tree Corner and the winding Sandwich Road, connecting the interior ponds like Santuit Pond and Mashpee Pond to the saltwater bays of Popponesset Bay and Cotuit Bay.
