USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The coastal interface of Buzzards Bay dominates this mid-century survey, showcasing a landscape defined by intricate inlets and established maritime summer colonies. In the northern reaches, the villages of Onset and Point Independence cluster around the protected waters of Onset Bay, while the surrounding geography is dotted with industrial agriculture in the form of Stones Bog and Cranberry Bog. Navigational infrastructure is highly detailed, marking the Hog Island Channel and the remote Cleveland Ledge Lighthouse standing offshore in the deeper bay waters.
