2024 Map of Dennis

About this map

Scargo Hill and Black Ball Hill rise above the dense network of coastal villages and kettle ponds that define this portion of Cape Cod. Stretching from North Dennis on the Atlantic Ocean south to Dennis Port and West Dennis, the landscape is a complex weave of historical memory and modern infrastructure. Genealogy interests are well-served by numerous burial sites, including the Ancient Cem, the Indian Burial Ground, and the Ancient Sears Cem. The geography of the mid-Cape is evident in the sprawling Bass Hole Marshes and the passage of the Bass River, which separates South Yarmouth from the Dennis townships. Transport patterns are visible through the Cape Cod Rail Trail, which follows the old railroad corridor across the map, while institutional landmarks like the Bridgewater State University Cape Cod Campus highlight the area's contemporary role.
