1949 Map of Falmouth

About this map

Waquoit Bay and the salt-water inlets of the southern Cape Cod coast define this 1947 aerial photographic mosaic. The landscape is a detailed study in mid-century coastal development, showing the established grid of Falmouth alongside seasonal residential pockets like Falmouth Heights, Mara Vista, and Acapesket. The interior is dominated by a complex network of glacial kettle ponds, including Coonamessett Pond and Johns Pond, which are surrounded by numerous Cranberry Bogs, a signature of the local agricultural economy at the time.
