Cape Cod National Seashore dominates this 1980s planimetric study, which illustrates the dynamic outer coastline of the lower cape. The map emphasizes the shifting barrier beach systems, notably the long stretch of Nauset Beach and the isolated sanctuary of Monomoy Island extending into Nantucket Sound. Unlike topographic maps focused on elevation, this planimetric survey provides a clear view of water bodies like Pleasant Bay, Town Cove, and the various harbor inlets from Chatham Port to Stage Harbor.
