1943 Map of Sandwich

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The New York New Haven and Hartford railroad tracks parallel the Cape Cod Bay shoreline, serving as the spine of coastal connectivity for Sandwich and East Sandwich. This early 1940s landscape is defined by the transition from the Great Marshes and Sandy Neck dunes to the densely clustered ponds of the interior, including Spectacle Pond and Lawrence Pond. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several family-named burial grounds like Tobey Cem and Percival Cem, while the community’s heritage is visible at the Old Quaker Meetinghouse and Wing Sch. The presence of the State Fish Hatchery and the Telegraph Hill Fire Tower reflects the era's focus on resource management and maritime observation along the Cape Cod Canal.
