1943 Map of Cotuit

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Mashpee and Cotuit anchor this coastal landscape during the early 1940s, a period when the inland ponds and southern shoreline of Cape Cod supported small, distinct village centers. The region is defined by a dense network of freshwater bodies such as Mashpee Pond and Santuit Pond, which contrast with the complex marine geography of Cotuit Bay and West Bay. Local genealogy and land use are well-documented through features like Marstons Mills Cem and Moss Wood Cem, alongside civic landmarks such as St Marys church. The map illustrates the era's recreational and social hubs, including the Santuit Golf Course and the developed estates of Grand Island (Oyster Harbors). Surveyed just before the mid-century, the sheet captures the established road system including Old Post Road and Falmouth Road, linking established settlements like Marstons Mills and Osterville.
