1940 Map of Sagamore

About this map

The Cape Cod Canal bisects this coastal landscape, serving as a vital maritime artery between Cape Cod Bay and Buttermilk Bay. During the early 1940s, this area functioned as a major transportation corridor, evidenced by the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad tracks paralleling the waterway and the presence of the Sagamore Bridge and Bournedale Bridge. To the north, the terrain is defined by a dense network of freshwater bodies such as Great Herring Pond and Long Pond, alongside industrial cranberry operations like Ellis Bog and Hedges Bog.
