About this map

Sandwich and the surrounding Barnstable County landscape are defined by a complex coastal network of salt marshes and freshwater kettle ponds just before the Second World War. The shoreline is punctuated by Sandwich Harbor and the Cape Cod Canal, with the Scorton Great Marshes stretching east toward West Barnstable. Inland, the terrain rises toward heights like Telegraph Hill Fire Tower and Discovery Hill, overlooking a series of large water bodies including Peters Pond, Wakeby Pond, and Lawrence Pond.
