1941 Map of Manomet

About this map

Cranberry cultivation and coastal leisure define this 1941 landscape along the western shores of Cape Cod Bay. The map reveals an extensive network of specialized agriculture, including the Beaverdam Cranberry Bogs, Maple Swamp Bog, Pine Bog, and Indian Brook Bog, which occupy the low-lying basins between glacial hills. Coastal settlements like Priscilla Beach, White Horse Beach, and Manomet Bluffs line the shore, punctuated by maritime infrastructure like the Coast Guard Sta at Manomet Pt. Further inland, the high ground of the Plymouth Hills rises toward Telegraph Hill and Manomet Hill, while historic corridors such as Old Sandwich Road wind through the terrain. The presence of Fishermans Ldg and Churchill Ldg highlights the community's enduring connection to the sea and local freshwater resources like Fresh Pond.
