2018 Map of Harwich

About this map

Harwich Port and Harwich Center anchor this detailed study of the south shore of Cape Cod. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrography, where numerous freshwater bodies like Long Pond and Seymour Pond transition into the salt marshes and estuaries of the Herring River Marshes and Andrews River. The map captures the established residential patterns of East Harwich and Northwest Harwich, while noting the significant coastal reaches of Harding Beach and Bank Street Beach. Cultural history is well-preserved through several family and community burial grounds, including Dillingham Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem. The southern extent of the sheet reaches into the Atlantic Ocean toward the Monomoy National Wildlife Refuge, illustrating the sensitive boundary between the developed Lower Cape and its protected maritime environment.
