1974 Map of Cotuit

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The coastal landscapes of Mashpee and Barnstable define this mid-1970s survey of Cape Cod's southern shore. The intricate network of bays, including Cotuit Bay, North Bay, and Popponesset Bay, reveals a landscape deeply connected to the water, where Popponesset Island and Osterville Grand Island sit behind protective barrier beaches like Popponesset Beach. Inland, the proliferation of Cranberry Bogs near Marstons Mills and Santuit points to the region's agricultural heritage, while settlements such as Osterville and Wianno show the established residential character of the era. Cultural and communal landmarks are well-documented, from the Old Indian Ch and St Judes Chapel to the 4-H Club Camp on Mashpee Pond. Notable geographic details include the distinct necks of land like Crocker Neck and Mashpee Neck that separate the various coves and rivers, such as the Santuit River and Quashnet River, providing a clear picture of the region's complex shoreline before further modern development.
