2018 Map of Orleans OE W

About this map

Brewster and Orleans anchor the southern reaches of this Cape Cod study, where the landscape is defined by an intricate network of kettle ponds and salt marshes. The interior is dotted with significant local landmarks like Schoolhouse Pond, Cliff Pond, and Flax Pond, while the cultural history of the area is preserved at sites like Brewster Cem and Pine Grove Cem. Along the western shoreline, the sprawling Cape Cod National Seashore protects a series of coastal environments, from the Billingsgate Shoal to the extensive Little Namskaket River Marshes. The residential development follows old paths like Rock Harbor Rd and Samoset Rd, illustrating the modern layout of these maritime communities. Further north, North Eastham sits adjacent to the iconic First Encounter Beach, a coastline shaped by the Atlantic Ocean and numerous small inlets such as Namskaket Creek.
