1938 Map of Sandwich

About this map

The New York New Haven and Hartford railroad cuts through the heart of the landscape, linking the coastal settlements of Sandwich and East Sandwich during the late 1930s. This survey reveals a community deeply integrated with its coastal and freshwater environments, from the expansive Great Marshes near West Barnstable to the numerous inland kettle ponds like Lawrence Pond and Mystic Lake. The presence of the Old Quaker Meetinghouse and several family burying grounds, including Tobey Cem and Percival Cem, points to the area's long-established colonial roots. Between the village centers, specialized land uses appear, such as the State Fish Hatchery and State Game Hatchery near Scorton Creek. These facilities, alongside the Shawme State Forest, illustrate the early 20th-century focus on conservation and managed natural resources on the Upper Cape.
