1941 Map of Falmouth

About this map

Glacial topography and coastal indentations define this 1940s landscape of Cape Cod, where numerous kettle ponds like Coonamessett Pond and Jenkins Pond dot the interior. The shoreline is characterized by a series of south-reaching peninsulas including Lewis Neck, Green Neck, and Davis Neck, which separate the long finger ponds from the larger Waquoit Bay. Inland, the agricultural and industrial character of the era is evident through the widespread presence of Cranberry Bogs situated in the low-lying wetlands between ridges.
