1949 Map of Dennis

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The mid-century coastal landscape of central Cape Cod is defined here by the winding Bass River and its connection to both Cape Cod Bay and Nantucket Sound. Small village centers like South Yarmouth and West Dennis are joined by a network of local roads such as Old Chatham Road and Trotting Park Road, reflecting the region's historic transition from seafaring to seasonal tourism. Along the northern shore, maritime activity is anchored by Sesuit Harbor and Nobscusset Harbor, while the interior is punctuated by numerous kettle ponds including Follins Pond and the prominent Scargo Lake. Significant landmarks for genealogists and local historians include Howes Cem and W Yarmouth Cem, alongside the Bass River Sta which served the rail corridor. Elevated points like Black Bell Hill and the curiosity of Hokum Rock rise above the dense woodland and salt marshes of Chase Garden Creek.
