About this map

Provincetown sits at the hooked tip of Cape Cod, showing a landscape defined by maritime safety and shifting sands in the late 19th century. The settlement cluster near Town Hill is anchored by a dense network of streets and a rail line terminating at the harbor. Surrounding the town is a wilderness of water and dunes, from the expansive Shank Painter Pond to the secluded Duck Pond and Round Pond.
