1958 Map of North Truro

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Cape Cod's narrow outer arm is documented here during a period of transition in the late 1950s, showing the intersection of maritime heritage and Cold War infrastructure. Near the Atlantic coast, the historic Highland Light stands watch above the Highlands, situated just north of the North Truro Air Force Station. The landscape is defined by deep glacial hollows, including Higgins Hollow and Great Hollow, which provided sheltered pockets for early settlements and agriculture. The western shore along Cape Cod Bay reveals the rail line of the New York and New Haven and the local center of North Truro, where the Central Sch and Old North Cemetery mark the community's heart. A distinctive loading cable is noted near Pond Village, hinting at the era's coastal industry before much of this area became part of the protected national seashore.
