1889 Map of Provincetown

USGS Topo · Published 1921

About this map

Provincetown and the northern tip of Cape Cod appear here during the late nineteenth century, defined by a maritime infrastructure built for safety and navigation. The coastline is heavily marked with life saving stations, including Race Point, Peaked Hill Bar, and High Head, reflecting the dangerous waters surrounding the outer cape. Essential navigational aids like Highland Light and Race Point Light stand as primary landmarks against the Atlantic Ocean.
