About this map

The coastal shelf of Plymouth Bay and Cape Cod Bay defines the character of this 1962 landscape, where the seafloor contours of Browns Bank meet a densely settled shoreline of summer colonies and year-round villages. Coastal development is concentrated at Priscilla Beach and White Horse Beach, with local life anchored by the Manomet Sch and the community at Manomet Heights.

Beyond the residential bluffs, the interior reveals the region's agricultural and maritime foundations. Extensive Cranberry Bog systems are visible near Beaver Dam Brook and Island Pond, illustrating the importance of cranberry cultivation to the local economy. Historical landmarks such as the White Horse Cem and the prominent Manomet Hill with its radio and lookout towers provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the evolution of this storied Massachusetts coastline.
