About this map

The coastal shelf of Plymouth Bay and Cape Cod Bay meets a landscape defined by glacial topography and maritime agriculture in this early 1960s survey. Extensive Cranberry Bogs are situated in the lowlands between Manomet Hill and Telegraph Hill, illustrating the enduring importance of cranberry cultivation to the local economy. Residential clusters like Manomet Heights and Manomet Bluffs line the shore, while local institutional life is anchored at the Manomet Sch and White Horse Cem.

Freshwater bodies like Fresh Pond, Island Pond, and Shallow Pond dot the interior, fed by streams such as Beaver Dam Brook. Along the coastline, recreational and maritime activity is evident at the Plymouth Country Club, Fishermans Landing, and the sandy stretches of White Horse Beach. This map documents a period when the area's rural character and seasonal coastal settlements were increasingly becoming permanent residential communities.
