2018 Map of Sandwich

About this map

East Sandwich and the northern reaches of Barnstable Town define this coastal landscape, where the tidal influences of the Atlantic Ocean meet a dense network of inland kettle ponds and marshes. The map documents the intricate hydrology of the region, from the winding Scorton Creek and its associated Great Marshes to the large freshwater bodies of Peters Pond, Wakeby Pond, and Mashpee Pond. For genealogists and local historians, the sheet is particularly valuable for its documentation of numerous burial grounds, including Cedarville Cem, Tobey Cem, and Mosswood Cem. This 2018 survey also highlights modern infrastructure such as the Cape Cod Airport and the complex residential road networks that have grown around the glacial topography. Small water features like Doughnut Pond and Hoxie Pond punctuate the terrain, illustrating the glacial legacy of the upper Cape.
