About this map

The Pine Hills form a rugged ridge overlooking the western edge of Cape Cod Bay, anchoring a landscape where glacial topography meets the Atlantic. This 1970s survey captures the settlement of Manomet and its satellite communities like Manomet Heights and Churchill Landing, showing a coastal economy still deeply tied to its physical environment. The interior is defined by numerous kettle ponds, including Fresh Pond and Island Pond, alongside an extensive network of Cranberry Bogs that thread through the lowlands between Telegraph Hill and Indian Hill.

Near the northern reaches of the shore, Plimoth Plantation stands near Warren Cove, marking a distinct intersection of historical commemoration and modern development. Along the coast, the map details geological features from the shifting sands of White Horse Beach to the rocky outcrops of Stage Point and Stone Horse Rocks, providing a clear view of the Plymouth shoreline before late-century expansion reshaped many of these coastal access points.
