2018 Map of Sagamore

About this map

The Sagamore Bridge and Bourne Bridge span the Cape Cod Canal, connecting the mainland to the coastal communities of Barnstable County. This 2018 survey documents a landscape defined by glacial kettle ponds and a rugged Atlantic shoreline, where maritime history meets modern infrastructure. Along the coast, settlements like Sagamore Beach, Ellisville, and Vallersville dot the bluffs above Bayside Beach. Interior terrain is characterized by numerous water bodies including Great Herring Pond, Long Pond, and Bloody Pond, often interspersed with commercial cranberry operations like Mountain Hill Bogs. Genealogists will find significant value in the mapped locations of Saddle and Pilgrim Graves and several local burying grounds, such as Savery Cem and Cedarville Cem. The corridor is further unified by the Cape Cod Central RR, which mirrors the canal's path past Bournedale and the heights of Sagamore Highlands.
