About this map

Sandwich anchors the shoreline on this coastal survey, where the intricate drainage of Sandwich Harbor Marshes meets the open water of the Atlantic. The landscape is defined by the tidal interface of Old Harbor Creek, Mill Creek, and Springhill Creek, which snake through the wetlands south of Scusset Beach. Human history is clearly marked by the dense residential grid of the town center and the prominent Mount Hope Cem situated near the intersection of Charles St and Ox Pasture Rd.

Further inland, Shawme Lake provides a transition from the marshy coast to the upland residential developments. The northern extent of the map is dominated by the Cape Cod Bay, while the western edge traces the critical navigation path of the Intracoastal Waterway. Local researchers can trace family property lines and historical neighborhoods via a detailed street network, including named thoroughfares like Town Neck Rd and N Shore Blvd.
