About this map

The Cape Cod Canal serves as the focal point of this coastal landscape, bisecting the terrain where the Atlantic shoreline meets the interior ponds of Plymouth. The engineering of the Sagamore Bridge and Sagamore Bridge Conn facilitates transit across the waterway, while the Cape Cod Canal Range Light and Sandwich Marina mark the maritime industry at the eastern entrance. The map reveals a dense concentration of freshwater bodies, including Great Herring Pond and Bloody Pond, which are surrounded by numerous summer camps such as Camp Massasoit and Camp Clark.

Genealogists can find several burial grounds, including the Indian Cem and Savery Cem, while local historians can identify cultural landmarks like the Dexter Grist Mill and the specialized agriculture of the Mountain Hill Bogs. The coastal fringe is defined by distinct residential pockets and landings, from Harlows Landing in the north to the beach communities of Sagamore Beach and Scusset Beach further south.
