1958 Map of Provincetown

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Provincetown sits at the northern tip of Cape Cod, serving as a vital maritime hub where Provincetown Harbor meets the Atlantic Ocean. The landscape is dominated by the Province Lands, a protected state reservation comprising complex dune systems and numerous freshwater bodies like Clapps Pond and Pasture Pond. This mid-century survey shows the area's development, including the Provincetown Airport and the coastal reach of the New York New Haven and Hartford rail line. Significant navigation aids mark the shoreline, from the Race Point Lighthouse in the north to the Wood End Lighthouse and Long Point at the harbor entrance. Locally significant landmarks such as the Pilgrim Monument and the Shank Painter Cemetery reflect the long-standing history of this fishing and seafaring community, while the Pilgrim Highway provides a terrestrial link to the mainland.
