2018 Map of Wellfleet OE E

About this map

Atlantic Ocean waters dominate this coastal landscape, where the shifting sands and salt marshes of the Cape Cod National Seashore meet the eastern edge of the peninsula. Inland from the surf, a series of freshwater kettle ponds—including Kinnacum Pond, Spectacle Pond, and Duck Pond—illustrate the glacial geography typical of this region. The settlement pattern is defined by a network of local roads such as Ocean View Dr and Old Kings Hwy, which connect small communities to the shore. For genealogists, the South Wellfleet Cem is a prominent landmark, situated near the headwaters of Blackfish Cr. The southern portion of the sheet reveals a complex wetland system comprising the Loagy Bay Marshes, Fresh Brook, and Silver Spring Brook Marshes, showing how tidal inlets and coastal streams shape the local topography and drainage.
