1944 Map of Provincetown

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

The tip of Cape Cod at Provincetown reveals a landscape defined by shifting dunes and a deep maritime history at the close of the 1940s. The dense settlement of the town clings to the inner harbor, while the surrounding Province Lands Reservation is dotted with numerous freshwater bodies like Shank Painter Pond, Duck Pond, and Clapps Pond. This period captures the early operations of the Provincetown Airport alongside the traditional presence of the New Haven and Hartford railroad line terminating near the water.
