2018 Map of Dennis

About this map

Bass River serves as the central artery for this mid-Cape landscape, dividing the settlements of South Yarmouth and West Dennis as it flows toward the Atlantic Ocean. The geography is characterized by its glacial history, evidenced by numerous kettle ponds such as Miller Pond, Seine Pond, and Perch Pond, alongside elevated points like Scargo Hill and Hokum Rock. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial grounds including the Ancient Sears Cem and Red Top Cem, while the inclusion of the Bridgewater State Univ Cape Cod Campus highlights the area's modern educational infrastructure. The map details the intricate network of shoreline features like Kill Pond Bar and the marshlands surrounding Chase Garden Creek, reflecting the environmental character of the peninsula's southern and northern coasts.
