1961 Map of Harwich

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The town of Harwich Port and the sprawling glacial lake system of the lower Cape define this landscape in the early 1960s. Coastal settlements from West Harwich to South Chatham show dense residential patterns along Nantucket Sound, contrasted with the interior's vast networks of Cranberry Bogs. The New York New Haven and Hartford railroad line cuts through the center of the sheet, linking Harwich to Pleasant Lake. To the north, the massive Long Pond and the wooded terrain of Nickerson State Park dominate the Brewster area. Significant local landmarks include the La Salette Seminary and the Brewster Country Club, alongside numerous family-named burial grounds like Evergreen Cem and Pine Grove Cem, which provide essential points of reference for local genealogists.
