2012 Map of Dennis

About this map

The Bass River serves as the central artery for this coastal landscape, separating Yarmouth from the dense settlements of North Dennis and New Boston. The region's nautical and spiritual heritage is evident in the numerous burial grounds, including the Ancient Cem, Sears Cem, and Paddock Cem, alongside landmarks such as the Bass River West Jetty Light. Higher elevations like Scargo Hill, featuring its Hill Observation Tower, and Black Ball Hill provide vantage points over a complex network of glacial ponds such as Follins Pond, Flax Pond, and Mill Pond. The shoreline is defined by numerous stretches like Mayflower Beach, Chapin Memorial Beach, and Grays Beach, which illustrate the area's long-standing reliance on its marine geography.
