1961 Map of Cotuit

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The coastal village of Cotuit and the surrounding villages of Santuit and Osterville are defined by an intricate network of bays and inlets along the Nantucket Sound. This early 1960s landscape shows the transition from a traditional maritime and agricultural economy to a residential and recreational hub. Numerous Cranberry Bogs are interspersed among the ponds and woodlands, highlighting the regional importance of cranberry cultivation. Significant landmarks for local history include the Old Indian Ch and several burial grounds like Marstons Mills Cem and Mosswood Cem. The map captures the shoreline before extensive modern development, detailing natural features such as Grand Island and Sampsons Island alongside established neighborhoods like Wianno and Cotuit Highlands. From the Mashpee River to the complex waterways of North Bay and West Bay, the terrain reflects a deeply rooted Cape Cod community shaped by its proximity to the water.
