1967 Map of Onset

About this map

Buzzards Bay dominates this coastal survey, where the intricate shorelines of Wareham and Bourne meet the western entrance of the Cape Cod Canal. The landscape is defined by its maritime infrastructure, from the Stony Point Dike sheltering the canal approach to the isolated Cleveland Ledge Lighthouse marking the deeper waters. Numerous summer colonies and waterfront settlements like Point Independence, Pinehurst Beach, and Patuisset are connected by local routes such as Delano Road, showing the mid-century development of the Massachusetts coastline.
