About this map

Provincetown sits at the curling terminus of the cape, a landscape defined by its maritime infrastructure and shifting sands during the early 1940s. The village is densely clustered around the Municipal Wharf, while the coastal perimeter is guarded by a network of signals including the Race Point Lighthouse, Long Point Lighthouse, and Wood End Lighthouse. The presence of the Race Point C G Sta and Wood End C G Sta underscores the area's strategic importance for coastal defense and navigation during the war years.
