1936 Map of Falmouth

USGS Topo · Published 1936

About this map

Waquoit Bay and the interconnected salt ponds of the Cape Cod coastline dominate this 1936 survey, showing the intricate relationship between land and water before mid-century development. The village of Falmouth serves as the western anchor, with the Harbor Lighthouse marking the entrance to Falmouth Inner Harbor. This era of the landscape features a distinct series of north-south glacial finger ponds and coastal inlets including Green Pond, Bowens Pond, and Eel Pond. Inland, the settlement pattern follows historic tracks such as Brick Kiln Road and Blacksmith Shop Road, connecting established clusters like Teaticket and East Falmouth. The coastline remains characterized by natural barriers like Dead Neck and Great Neck, protecting the waters of Nantucket Sound.
