2012 Map of Provincetown OE W

About this map

The Atlantic Ocean dominates this offshore survey, capturing the open waters of Massachusetts Bay at a point northwest of the tip of Cape Cod. While largely a maritime record, the sheet marks the distinct navigational path of the Boston - Provincetown Ferry Crossing. This diagonal line represents a modern continuation of a long-standing coastal transit route, linking the state capital to the historic harbor at the end of the peninsula. The absence of terrestrial features or bathymetric contours focuses the document entirely on the surface geography and official maritime transit corridors in the early twenty-first century.
