1946 Map of Orleans

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

Nauset Beach Lighthouse stands as a sentinel on the Atlantic coast of the lower Cape, overlooking a landscape defined by intricate inlets and glacial kettle ponds. This mid-century survey captures Orleans and Eastham during a period of transition, where established coastal life centered around Town Cove and the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad line. The settlement patterns reflect a deep connection to the water, from the harbor at Rock Harbor to the residential clusters at Nauset Heights and South Orleans.
