1943 Map of Dennis

USGS Topo · Published 1943

About this map

The mid-Cape landscape is defined here by the intricate boundary between Yarmouth and Dennis, just years before the post-war development boom reshaped these coastal towns. A dense network of glacial kettle ponds, including Scargo Lake and Flax Pond, dots the interior terrain between the shoreline of Cape Cod Bay and the southern reaches of Nantucket Sound. The transportation patterns of the early 1940s are preserved, from the primary route of Highway 6 to the tracks of the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad, featuring the Bass River Sta. This survey captures the traditional village centers like South Dennis and Yarmouth Port as discrete settlements surrounded by woodlands and marshes. Genealogists will find particular value in the clearly marked burial grounds such as Howes Cem and the W Yarmouth Cem, which anchor the local history of these long-established maritime communities.
