1944 Map of North Truro

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

Cape Cod's outer arm reveals its distinctive late-war topography, where the Atlantic winds have sculpted a landscape of deep hollows and shifting sands. Coastal navigation and life center around the Cape Cod Lighthouse and the settlement of North Truro, which sits perched between the Atlantic Ocean and Cape Cod Bay. The map documents a delicate balance between maritime exposure and inland shelter, seen in the transition from the exposed Pilgrim Beach to the protected basin of Pilgrim Lake.
