1957 Map of Falmouth

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The coastal landscape of Barnstable County is defined here by a series of long, finger-like salt ponds and estuaries stretching toward Vineyard Sound. This mid-century survey captures the established residential character of Falmouth and East Falmouth, with detailed street grids extending into neighborhoods like Falmouth Heights and Mara Vista. The map records the area’s agricultural and recreational transition, showing numerous Cranberry Bogs alongside mid-century landmarks like the Drive-in Theater and a small Landing Strip. Along the eastern shoreline, the village of Waquoit and Washburn Island frame the protected waters of Waquoit Bay, while the interior is dotted with glacial kettle holes such as Coonamessett Pond and Jenkins Pond. Local genealogists will find several notable sites, including Oak Grove Cem and St Anthonys Cem.
