1961 Map of Cotuit

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Cranberry Bogs define the agricultural interior of the Cape in the early 1960s, surrounding freshwater bodies like Santuit Pond and Lovells Pond. The landscape is a complex network of coastal inlets and protected waters, from the developed Oyster Harbors to the natural stretches of Popponesset Beach. Genealogical interest is anchored by several historic burial sites, including the Old Indian Ch Cem and the Old Indian Ch near Pine Tree Corner. The transition from rural cranberry cultivation to seaside residential expansion is evident in settlements like Cotuit Highlands, Osterville, and the planned layout of Maushop Village. Navigational features such as the Seapuit River and various points like Bluff Point and Ryefield Point illustrate the intricate relationship between the land and Nantucket Sound.
