About this map

Cape Cod National Seashore dominates this 1970s landscape, protecting a massive stretch of the Outer Cape between Cape Cod Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. The settlement pattern centers on North Truro and Pond Village, where historic roads like Kings Highway and Old County Rd reflect centuries of travel through the shifting dunes and coastal hollows. High above the water, the Highland Light Coast Guard Sta and the North Truro Air Force Station represent the area's strategic importance for both navigation and national defense. Local genealogists will find the Old North Cem and numerous named family landmarks like Smalls Hill and Corn Hill, while the presence of a Bicycle Trail and various campgrounds shows the transition of this maritime environment into a premier recreational destination.
