1974 Map of Hyannis

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Barnstable and its surrounding villages are captured here during a period of significant mid-century growth on the Cape. The landscape is defined by the contrast between the protected tidal flats of Barnstable Harbor to the north and the developed residential and commercial hubs of Hyannis and Hyannis Port to the south. Central to the region's infrastructure is the Barnstable Municipal Airport, situated near the sprawling Wequaquet Lake. The map details the transition of the local economy and culture, from the traditional fishing and maritime focus seen in the complex island and creek systems of the Great Marshes to the educational and healthcare expansion represented by Cape Cod Community College and Cape Cod Hospital. Traceable Conrail lines connect these coastal settlements, while numerous old burial grounds like Lothrop Hill Cem and Crocker Cem anchor the area's genealogical history.
