what is a Cope? (geography)?

Answer 1

I think you're referring to "cape".

CAPE
- a strip of land projecting into a body of water
- a point or extension of land jutting out into water as a peninsula or point
- a relatively extensive land area jutting seaward from a continent or large island which prominently marks a change in, or interrupts notably, the coastal trend; a prominent feature.

Answer 2

Geographically, a cope is 'a superficial deposit considered as a covering or coating of the stratum beneath'
(9th definition of the noun, as per the Oxford dictionary).
So a cope stratum is a thin covering (eg a wind-blown thin deposit) over the major landform feature.

Answer 3

Maybe you are talking about CAPE like the cape of good hope a land mark used by colonizers and conquestadors.
