2018 Map of Woods Hole

About this map

Woods Hole and the surrounding coastline of Buzzards Bay are detailed in this 2018 survey, illustrating the complex geography of the Upper Cape. The map highlights the critical maritime infrastructure connecting the mainland to the islands, including the Martha's Vineyard and Woods Hole Ferry and the New Bedford - Oak Bluffs Ferry. Inland, the landscape is defined by its glacial heritage, featuring named elevations like Telegraph Hill and Swifts Hill alongside numerous salt ponds and marshes. Settlements such as West Falmouth and Quissett show a dense network of residential streets, while the historic Crowell Cem remains a notable landmark for genealogists. The proximity of Great Sippewisset Marsh and Little Sippewisset Marsh demonstrates the preserved natural character of the shoreline between developed coastal communities like Saconesset Hills.
