1944 Map of Orleans

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Town Cove and the narrow interior waterways of the mid-Cape define the landscape of this 1940s-era survey, showing the transition from agricultural coastal settlements to established maritime communities. The rail corridor of the New York New Haven and Hartford cuts through the center of Orleans, linking it to Eastham and North Eastham. This infrastructure, combined with the presence of Nauset C G Sta and Orleans C G Sta, underscores the area's strategic coastal significance during the mid-20th century.
