1889 Map of Provincetown

USGS Topo · Published 1897

About this map

Maritime safety and coastal topography define the tip of Cape Cod in this late 19th-century survey. The landscape of Provincetown and Truro is marked by a dense network of navigation aids, reflecting the area's vital role in Atlantic shipping. Four major beacons—Race Point Light, Highland Light, Long Point Light, and Wood End Light—stand watch over the treacherous outer sands and the shelter of Provincetown Harbor.
