1972 Map of North Truro

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

North Truro Air Force Station and the Highland Light Coast Guard Sta anchor the high ground of the Outer Cape in this 1970s study. The landscape is defined by the massive expanse of the Cape Cod National Seashore, protecting the coastal dunes and marshes from Pilgrim Lake to the marshes of the Salt Meadow. The transition from the Atlantic shore at Head of the Meadow Beach to the calmer waters of Cape Cod Bay reveals a settlement pattern focused around North Truro and Pilgrim Heights. Local infrastructure for the era is visible in the network of coastal routes like Highland Road and Coast Guard Road, while natural features like Great Swamp and Moon Pond highlight the delicate hydrological balance of the peninsula.
