2021 Map of Pocasset

About this map

Camp Edwards and the expansive Massachusetts National Cemetery dominate the interior of this coastal survey, reflecting the region's enduring military and civic significance. Along the western shore, the Intracoastal Waterway threads through a string of maritime settlements including Monument Beach, Pocasset Station, and Cataumet Station, where the relationship between the rail line and the Atlantic coast remains clearly defined. The map captures a diverse network of recreation and transit, from the Cape Cod Canal Bike Path Trail in the north to the intricate series of trails near Deer Horn Hill, such as the Rip Your Shorts Off Trail and Half Pipe Trail. Inland, the landscape is punctuated by numerous glacial kettle ponds like Snake Pond and Ashumet Pond, while the Cape Cod Coast Guard Air Station stands as a prominent landmark near the center of the peninsula.
