2018 Map of Provincetown

About this map

Provincetown occupies the narrow, hooked tip of the Cape, where a dense network of residential streets like Commercial St and Alden St gives way to the protected expanses of the Cape Cod National Seashore. This modern topographical survey illustrates the distinct boundary between the historic harbor settlement and the shifting environment of the Dunes of the Provincelands. Elevated points such as High Pole Hill, Town Hill, and Telegraph Hill dominate the local topography, while numerous freshwater bodies like Shank Painter Pond and Pasture Pond are scattered among the interior dunes. The map also traces the vital transit lines that connect this maritime community to the mainland, including the Provincetown Municipal Airport and the seasonal route of the Plymouth - Provincetown Ferry across Provincetown Harbor. Local history is anchored by sites like Saint Peters Cem and the sprawling Long Point Marshes that wrap around the lower harbor.
