About this map

Manomet serves as the central hub of this coastal survey, where dense residential settlements meet the dramatic shoreline of Plymouth Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The landscape transitions from the developed neighborhoods of White Horse Beach and Manomet Heights to the specialized residential enclave of The Pinehills in the southwest. A legacy of maritime and local history is visible in the network of coastal landings, including Fishermans Landing and Churchill Landing, which punctuate the bluffs overlooking the water.

Interpreting the interior terrain reveals a significant glacial influence, evidenced by numerous kettle ponds and reservoirs such as Island Pond, Whipple Reservoir, and the uniquely named Clam Pudding Pond. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Manomet Cem, White Horse Cem, and Russell Mills Cem. Offshore, the transit route of the Plymouth - Provincetown Ferry cuts across the bay, connecting these historic coastal communities to the wider Atlantic region.
