Time series photographs

in Falmouth, Mass., 1943 - 2001

This series of aerial photographs shows changes experienced in the Acapesket region of Falmouth between Great Pond (left) and Green Pond (right), between the years of 1943 and 2001. In the first photo, the dominant land cover is agricultural and forest. Within twelve years, the first subdivision has appeared, and subsequent years show an ever-increasing number of roads and homes.
