1974 Map of Harwich

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The coastal transition from the Nantucket Sound to Cape Cod Bay is illustrated here, revealing a landscape defined by glacial kettle ponds and early transportation corridors. The network of interior waterways, including the expansive Long Pond, Seymour Pond, and Hinckleys Pond, serves as a backdrop to the area's mid-20th-century development. While the Railroad Grade and Old Railroad Grade indicate the importance of former rail lines to the region's economy, newer institutions like the Cape Cod Regional Technical High Sch and Cranberry Valley Municipal Country Club reflect the shifting land use toward education and recreation. Coastal settlements from Harwich Port to Dennis Port anchor the southern shoreline, while Nickerson State Forest Park preserves significant open space to the north, containing numerous smaller basins like Cliff Pond and Flax Pond.
