Provincetown and its surrounding maritime landscape are defined by the shifting Dunes of the Provincelands and the protected waters of Provincetown Harbor. This survey of the tip of Cape Cod reveals a dense network of streets within the main settlement, including Commercial St and Bradford St, which contrast with the expansive wetlands of the Long Point Marshes and the many freshwater features like Shank Painter Pond and Clapps Pond. Landmarks such as Town Hall and the Winthrop Street Cem sit near the harbor, while the outskirts are dominated by the Cape Cod National Seashore. The geographic curve of the land, terminating at Wood End and Long Point, highlights the area's ongoing geological evolution and its historical reliance on the sea.
