1944 Map of Orleans

About this map

Lower Cape Cod’s intricate transition from the tranquil waters of Cape Cod Bay to the exposed Atlantic Ocean shoreline is captured here during the 1940s. The landscape is defined by the narrow waist of the peninsula at Town Cove, where the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad cuts through the heart of Orleans and North Eastham. This era precedes the major post-war development of the National Seashore, showing a more local network of roads like Cable Road and Barley Neck Road serving established coastal settlements and isolated shorefronts.
