1951 Map of Sagamore

About this map

The Cape Cod Bay coastline and the gateway to the Cape are defined by the critical infrastructure of the mid-century, including the Sagamore Bridge and Bourne Bridge. These spans cross the canal near the settlement of Sagamore, providing a vital link for the growing coastal communities of Sagamore Beach and Sagamore Highlands. To the south, the massive footprint of the Camp Edwards Military Reservation occupies a significant portion of the landscape, while the northern reaches transitions into the dense woodlands and numerous glacial kettles of Myles Standish State Forest.
