About this map

Otis Air Force Base dominates the southern landscape of this coastal survey, its runways and military reservation boundary defining much of the local geography in Bourne and Sandwich. Along the western shoreline, the maritime character of the region is evident through the winding inlets of Buzzards Bay, including Phinneys Harbor and Red Brook Harbor. The Cape Cod Canal cuts across the northern edge, anchored by the Mass Maritime Academy and the massive Bourne Bridge.

Residential development is concentrated in villages like Pocasset and Monument Beach, while the interior remains wooded and punctuated by numerous kettle ponds such as Snake Pond and Deep Pond. Local infrastructure is captured through features like the Peebles Sch, Oakland Grove Cem, and the path of the Conrail line. The map also records the extent of the Shawme Crowell State Forest and the expanding network of roads including Mac Arthur Boulevard.
