1941 Map of Falmouth

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

The coastal shelf of Cape Cod is defined by its distinctive glacial outwash ponds and long, finger-like salt ponds reaching toward Vineyard Sound. This 1936 survey, compiled in part from early aerial photographs, documents the transition between the established maritime hub of Falmouth and its outlying agricultural and residential hamlets. Along the southern coast, seasonal developments such as Falmouth Heights, Mara Vista, and Menauhant sit between Great Pond and Bowen Pond, illustrating the area's growth as a summer destination.
