1977 Map of North Truro

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

North Truro sits as a narrow bridge of land on this orthophotoquad, showcasing the delicate balance between human settlement and the encroaching sea. Taken from aerial imagery in the late 1970s, this perspective captures the fine-grained texture of the coastal landscape, from the dense vegetation of the interior to the stark, white sand beaches that define the outer Cape. The vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean dominates the eastern horizon, while the more sheltered waters of Cape Cod Bay border the western shoreline. This unique format uses rectified photoimagery rather than traditional topographic lines, allowing researchers to see the actual distribution of coastal scrub, residential development, and the shifting dune systems as they existed just before the turn of the decade. It provides a visual record of the shoreline and land use patterns in this thin stretch of the peninsula.
