2021 Map of Sandwich

About this map

East Sandwich and the northern reaches of Barnstable Town are defined by a complex glacial landscape of kettle ponds and coastal marshes. Large water bodies such as Mashpee Pond, Peters Pond, and Lawrence Pond dominate the interior, while Scorton Creek Marshes and the Sandwich Harbor Marshes protect the northern shoreline along Sandy Neck. This 2021 survey reveals a modern residential network woven through a series of trails and paths, including the Trail of Tears North Trl and North Ridge Trl, reflecting the area's transition toward conservation and recreation. Numerous family-named burial sites, such as Tobey Cem, Percival Cem, and Wakeby Cem, provide significant touchstones for local genealogists. The presence of the Cape Cod Airport near Mystic Lake further highlights the unique infrastructure that services this portion of the Cape.
