2021 Map of Falmouth

About this map

Falmouth and its surrounding coastal villages are defined by a complex network of freshwater ponds and saltwater inlets on the southwestern shoulder of Cape Cod. The landscape transitions from the dense settlement of the town center and Falmouth Heights to the scattered residential clusters of Teaticket and Waquoit Village. Numerous glacial kettle ponds, including Coonamessett Pond, Johns Pond, and Long Pond, dot the interior, while the shoreline is carved into distinct points and necks such as Meadow Neck and Bournes Neck. Modern recreation and transit patterns are visible through the Falmouth Shining Sea Trl and the active ferry routes, including the Martha's Vineyard and Woods Hole Ferry, which navigate the waters above Bardow Shoal and L'Hommedieu Shoal. Local heritage is anchored by established sites like the Methodist Society Burying Ground and Oak Grove Cem.
