1977 Map of Falmouth

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Cape Cod coastal development and the intricate finger-like inlets of the southern shore define this 1977 orthophotograph. Centered on the town of Falmouth, the imagery captures a specific moment of mid-century residential expansion as neighborhoods branched out through Teaticket and Acapesket. The aerial perspective reveals the dense woodland surrounding Jenkins Pond and the contrasting grid-like patterns of Smalltown near Waquoit Village. By using photographic imagery rather than traditional line-drawn contours, this survey provides a unique view of land use and vegetation density during the late seventies, showing the transition from inland forests to the maritime settlements of East Falmouth along the edge of Vineyard Sound. This visual record serves as a bridge for local historians to see the literal footprint of the community before later modern infill.
