1957 Map of Falmouth

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Falmouth and its surrounding coastal villages are depicted here during a period of mid-century development, where traditional Cape Cod industries like Cranberry Bogs still sat adjacent to growing residential neighborhoods. The landscape is defined by its glacial kettle ponds and finger-like coastal inlets, including Great Pond, Green Pond, and Bournes Pond, which stretch toward the Vineyard Sound. These waterways created a series of peninsulas or necks, such as Acapesket and Seacoast Shores, which were rapidly being subdivided for housing by the late 1950s.
