2015 Map of Wellfleet

About this map

Wellfleet and the surrounding Pamet Hollow landscape are detailed in this 2015 study, showing the modern composition of this storied Cape Cod maritime community. The geography is defined by its numerous freshwater kettle ponds, such as Great Pond, Gull Pond, and Long Pond, which dot the terrain east of the village center. Much of the land is preserved within the Cape Cod National Seashore, protecting the coastal dunes and marshes that transition from the Atlantic Ocean to the interior waterways. The map traces the intricate drainage systems of the Herring River and Bound Brook, while local road networks like Bound Brook Island Rd and Ryder Beach Rd connect historical settlements to the shoreline at Ryder Beach and Fisher Beach. This recent survey provides a precise look at the contemporary interface between the residential village and its surrounding protected wilderness.
