1943 Map of Cotuit

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Mashpee and the surrounding coastal villages are depicted here during the mid-1940s, a period showing the established summer colonies and maritime character of southern Cape Cod. The landscape is defined by the complex interface of land and water, from the freshwater Mashpee Pond in the north to the intricate salt marshes and inlets of Popponesset Bay and Cotuit Bay. Cultural landmarks like the Old Indian Ch near Pine Tree Corner reflect the area's deep indigenous and colonial heritage, while Camp Cotuit and the Santuit Golf Course indicate the region's mid-century role as a seasonal retreat. The shoreline is punctuated by notable features such as Grand Island and the barrier beach of Dead Neck. Local infrastructure is represented by a dense network of routes like Old Post Road and Newtown Road, connecting the inland hamlets of Marstons Mills and Santuit to the seaside settlement of Osterville.
