1915 Map of Falmouth

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

Buzzards Bay and its intricate series of harbors and necks define the coastline of this Upper Cape region during the early-to-mid twentieth century. The inland landscape is dominated by the Camp Edwards Military Reservation Boundary, while the coastal fringe is dotted with established summer colonies and villages including Monument Beach, South Pocasset, and Cataumet. The railroad network of the Nynh&H RR serves as a vital artery, connecting the interior with coastal points like Falmouth and Onset. Local life is recorded through numerous small markers such as the Post Office at Waquoit Village and various schools and churches. The glacial topography is evident in the dense cluster of kettle ponds, such as Coonamessett Pond and Mares Pond, situated between the military reservation and the Vineyard Sound shore. This period captures the area's dual identity as a military training ground and a premier coastal destination.
