About this map

The Cape Cod Canal enters the bay at Sandwich, a coastal landscape defined by its intricate network of tidal creeks and moraine-formed ponds. This survey, conducted shortly before the mid-century, details the rural character of settlements like East Sandwich and West Barnstable before post-war suburbanization. The interior is a maze of glacial features including Telegraph Hill and Discovery Hill, interspersed with many freshwater bodies such as Peters Pond and Mystic Lake.
