About this map

The Cape Cod National Seashore dominates this coastal landscape, where the Atlantic's edge meets a complex system of kettle ponds and tidal marshes. Just inland from the Camp Wellfleet Dunes, a cluster of freshwater bodies including Kinnacum Pond, Spectacle Pond, and Duck Pond indicate the area's glacial geography. Modern recreation and conservation patterns are clear, with the Cape Cod Rail Trl cutting through the terrain and local roads like Cahoon Hollow Rd and Lecount Hollow Rd providing access to the shore.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the South Wellfleet Cem near the junction of several established routes. The map further details the intricate wetlands of the western shore, specifically the Blackfish Creek Marshes and Loagy Bay Marshes, which define the inner Cape's tidal environment. This survey captures the late modern balance between residential pockets and protected maritime wilderness.
