2012 Map of Orleans OE W

About this map

East Brewster and the surrounding coastal landscape of Barnstable County are meticulously documented in this 2012 survey. The interior is defined by a dense concentration of kettle ponds, including Cliff Pond, Higgins Pond, and Flax Pond, which illustrate the post-glacial topography of the Cape. Local heritage is grounded in landmarks like the Old Higgins Windmill and the Foster Cem, while the northern coastline features a series of public landings such as Ellis Landing and Point of Rocks Landing. The map captures the specialized land use of the era, from the Youth Forestry Camp tucked between the ponds to the coastal attraction Sealand of Cape Cod near Quivett Neck. Along the bay, the expanse of Billingsgate Shoal and the designated waters of Rock Harbor signify the enduring maritime importance of these tidal flats and inlets.
