About this map

Provincetown and the northern reaches of Truro anchor this coastal landscape, revealing the intricate geography of the Outer Cape as it was surveyed in the late 19th century. The settlement at Provincetown is densely clustered along the inner curve of Provincetown Harbor, protected from the Atlantic Ocean by the hooked peninsula. The interior is dotted with numerous small freshwater bodies like Pasture Pond, Duck Pond, and the unusually named Shank Painter Pond.
