2021 Map of Woods Hole

About this map

Woods Hole and the surrounding southwestern coastline of Cape Cod are shown here, defined by a complex network of harbors, ponds, and residential enclaves along Buzzards Bay. The map documents the established maritime and scientific character of the region, anchored by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the busy ferry routes of the Martha's Vineyard and Woods Hole Ferry. To the north, the coastline transitions into the protected wetlands of Great Sippewisset Marsh and Little Sippewisset Marsh, separating the residential neighborhoods of West Falmouth and Saconesset Hills. The intricate topography includes many family-named landmarks like Crowell Cem and Telegraph Hill, alongside prominent coastal features such as The Knob and the narrow spit of Penzance.
