2015 Map of Dennis

About this map

Follins Pond and the Bass River system dominate the central landscape of this Cape Cod mid-section, illustrating a complex network of waterways that defined early settlement. The map documents numerous historical burial sites, including the Ancient Cem and Howes Cem, reflecting the deep genealogical roots of villages like Yarmouth Port and Dennis Port. The terrain transitions from the harbor-facing Mayflower Beach on the northern coast to the barrier beaches and bars of the southern shore, such as Dogfish Bar. Coastal geography is further detailed through features like Scargo Hill and Point of Rocks, which overlook the dense network of interior kettle ponds. The arrangement of Main St and regional connectors like RT-134 shows how the historic village centers of South Yarmouth and West Dennis remained focal points of development into the modern era.
