1958 Map of Wellfleet

About this map

Wellfleet and the outer Cape landscape are defined by a complex network of freshwater kettle ponds and tidal marshes in this mid-century survey. The village center is flanked by Duck Harbor to the west and the Atlantic coastline to the east, where several named hollows like Newcomb Hollow and Cahoon Hollow provide access to the beach. The interior terrain is marked by distinct depressions such as Paradise Hollow and Fox Bottom, surrounded by an unusually high density of named water bodies including Gull Pond, Horseleech Pond, and Ryder Pond.
