1977 Map of Cotuit

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Mashpee and the surrounding coastal reaches of Cape Cod are presented in this 1977 orthophotoquad, which utilizes rectified aerial photography to reveal the intricate relationship between the land and the Atlantic. The intricate shoreline of Osterville and the sheltered waters of Cotuit are visible in high detail, showing the developed residential patterns of the late 1970s. Along the southern edge, Popponesset Beach fronts the Nantucket Sound, where the shifting sands of The Neck protect the inner estuaries. This photographic perspective offers a unique view of the region's transition from the wooded interior around Pine Tree Corner to the dense coastal settlements at South Mashpee. Unlike a traditional line-drawn map, this imagery preserves the exact footprint of every dock, driveway, and clearing as they existed in the spring of 1977.
