    2.2 Coastal Resources

    2.2 COASTAL RESOURCES INTRODUCTION Dennis Coastal Resources plan is intended to provide the framework for decision making by the town departments, committees and its residents. The purpose of this plan is to serve as a guide to conserve, preserve and provide opportunities for the citizens of Dennis The Coastal Resources is prepared in two different ways. The executive summary (general public and town meeting), the second (the long text and maps) is substantial and technical for those wishing details on the subject matter. Those plans examine trends, needs, propose actions, goals and recommends, and shall set a direction for our future growth and development. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS Topography and Geology The Town is composed of three distinct physiographic regions as a result of glaciation that ended 13,000 years ago. Wind, wave, rain and storm action has shaped dunes, beaches and other shoreline features, but the advance and retreat of glaciers primarily characterize Dennis. The first region is the Harwich Outwash Plain south of Setucket Road. Here, the land slopes gently southward towards Nantucket Sound. Glacial furrows carved by meltwater in the outwash plain include Bass River and Swan River. Numerous freshwater ponds ranging in size from two to more than 100 acres were formed in this area when melting blocks of glacial ice left depressions in the outwash. Coarse to medium sands dominate the outwash soil. The second region is defined by kame deposits in the area roughly Setucket Road and Route 6A. Kame deposits are mostly steep areas of gravelly sand and gravel. In fact, the highest elevations in town (Scargo Hill – 160 feet) and the steepest hillsides are in this area.

One marker was for Cyrennius Kelley who had the brook and bay named after him. Historians used to search for ~ remains ofa church which suppos­ edly stood beside the burial lot I don't recall anyone found~ pieces. A few feet beyond on the left was the deep rutted road leading to Follins Pond There were no houses anywhere in sight. In fact, the next house along the road was Frank Wheldon 's beyond the Dennis line into Yarmouth. It was lovely and isolated In my earlier years I remember fishermen going down to the Pond to . "The Quaker Settlement tend to the eel traps. One family was named Kelley. Willis Baker, who had a in Dennis" fish route, also went there. I can still see a mental picture ofthe shore with the Jim Gould, noted Cape eel pots stacked up and a few old row boats.
