1972 Map of Sandwich

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Sandy Neck and the expansive Great Marshes dominate the coastal interface of this Cape Cod landscape, where the Cape Cod Canal enters Cape Cod Bay. The inland terrain is a dense network of freshwater bodies including Wakeby Pond, Mashpee Pond, and Lawrence Pond, interspersed with numerous Cranberry Bogs that speak to the region's agricultural heritage. Transportation corridors like the Penn Central railroad and the Mid-Cape Highway cut through the glacial hills, connecting established settlements such as Sandwich and East Sandwich. Local history is preserved in sites like the Old Quaker Meetinghouse and West Parish Ch, while the southern portion of the map is defined by the significant military footprint of Otis Air Force Base and the conservation lands of the Lowell Holly Reservation.
